Powdercoating
Hello, Anyone how hot they get the metal for the powdercoating process, ideally I need to fit some rubber bushes before my cradle gets powdercoated as
it's f' ing tight, trying to squeeze them in without damaging the coating would be almost impossible
Cheers

Often curing happens between 250F and 300F. You can get low temp coatings but its a question of whether you chosen place can handle them....

Thanks Ben,
Sounds as though it wouldn't do the bushes any good at that temperature, hmm maybe time for a rethink
Cheers

the lower end of that should be ok.
most rubbers are cured at 120oC at least, and are ok to 150 deg c once cured, which is about 300F
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Plug the holes before blasting and coating with some tight fitting wooden dowels?
