What sort of preparation process did you use before powder-coating? Were the parts chemically stripped, bead blasted or some other method?

You must be feeling pretty happy with yourself right now. Good onya mate!

Chris (.......wondering whether his 'Alfie' wears knickers or boxer shorts? Can't tell for the dirt at present!)

hello...they where filthy when I stripped the car...almost 40 years of road tar/grease/ road kill and god know what else...I did the following:

1. Soaked them in a degreaser bath
2. Had them chemically stripped
3. Then powder coated...


In hindsight, I would have got an even much more superiro finish if i had them bead blasted...but I am very very picky...!!!
