This is pretty much the only thing that works on powdercoat, ask me how I know. You can also burn it off with a torch, around 500 it will begin to turn to ash. But so might your parts...

Thanks I am getting geared back up to start the tear down Been waiting on my guy to get a project off the lift have another shop to do it in but no welding capability so I am at my brothers mercy on his shop and general fab work

60 degree day today would have rather went for a ride but the better half had plans for me. So I stayed around the house gathered up the Buffer from the bedroom the newsest oink Johnson puchase (a 77 Gas Tank) boxed a few things up organized my Yardbarn Shop.

I let her talk me into sending my swingarm to get fitted for it's new home from the local UPS instead of the one in town where I work so I could get home quicker yesterday, and lowe and behold they are only open 3 hours a day and were closed by the time I got there. So now it has to wait til Monday.

But I am getting motivated did some sanding and polishing on my Rim. Decided to paint the center black Plan was to Paint it Gloss black then Ghost in some skulls and Superman "S"'s (a little gay I know but hoping to get some work out of it)

but after priming the wheel the flat or matt black finish kind of pops I am liking it more and more as I look at it I am thinking the finished product may have to be the hot rod black finish





I have had several new ideas lately but need to finish one thing before going off on a new tangent

I like the matt finish better than gloss on the wheels; it looks like it means business. Ed
