Post by: dolepineapple on April 27, 2005, 12:10:39 PM

i received my suburban machinery type 2 handlebars in the mail
i'm so excited to put them on, but i want them to be all black

joel

Actually, isn't there a home kit where you can powder coat stuff in your oven?

Take it to a shop.  They'd powder coat them for you for nothing.  Just give them a packet of Skittles and a couple of stamps and they'd do it for you.  . .

All Black F's   :cheers:

I like Duplicolor spray paint, you could get that black high heat exhaust paint, then cure it in your oven.

Sorry.

Call a shop that does powder coating.  They probably do a batch of black parts every week or couple days.  They'd probably throw it in with some other stuff for very little money.

It states temps on the can, something like 4hr@200 deg or 3hr@300 or 2hr@400. Can't remember what it said exactly. Never done it, but it should be pretty tough when done.

There is a professional rugby or aussie rules football team in New Zealand called the All Blacks.  You should get some of their gear on-line and start pimping it when you ride!  

The All Blacks are pretty much the most dope rugby team on planet Earth.  Too bad we can't pick about 15 blokes out of the NFL, send them down there and hand out some cans of kicked kiwi ass.

(Aside: tell me, aussies, how come the only austrailian footballer to make it in the NFL was a sissy punter?  You ain't so tough. . .)

That's it.  That's the one.  

I guess the All Blacks are all big kiwi dudes.  The put paint on their faces and come out before games doing some sort of polynesian ritualistic dance before games to turn their opponents into a quivering mass of shrunken stumps.

You need an air compressor to use that home kit?

Anyone got some finished product?  My 15" TE37 might fit in my oven :)
