powder coating

hi ive just got my frame back from powder coaters and hes has problem with chassis number, you cant see it hes had go at doing it twice now? as anybody else had same problem

Has the frame been sand blasted? Do you have the number on a paper, tax plate or anything?
It can be easily redone afterwards. Every garage has these stamps.
Normally, they cover the number off with tape and they put only a single layer on top of it.
There are other ways of doing this as well, but I don't know all of them.

hi guys
my yellow ST was painted and it hid the frame no I ended up taping around it and removing the paint
regards tufty

thanks guys i will mask it off and wire brush that area, yes it has been sand blasted and acid dipped and the primer is very thick i had to wire brush frame numbers b4 he powder coated it white and it still cover frame numbers
thanks again lee ps hows that engine waynus???????

The engine is nice and shiny and almost ready to bolt on.
(I will fit some other parts to make it even quicker , seller said it does 60mph+ but we'll have to see about that)
If anyone is looking for a fast semi clutch original engine, I have my current one for sale!

My chassis number was hard to read after I had it powder coated, when I took it for the MOT I was worried they wouldn't be able to read it but it sailed through the test... I was prepared to remove the coating around that area if it had failed though.

One thing with powder coating is that to remove the baked on paint is very difficult (well it's easy, but to make a clean, neat job of it is vert difficult).

still no chassis number nevermind good job im a mot tester, ha ha

Hi Lee,
the frame number on one of my bikes is difficult to read so the MOT tester just asked to see the log book so he could get the reading off that.
