DaveK Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Well gang, after looking for someone who can powder coat my guitar parts at an affordabel price & finding no-one I am going to do something about it! I am plannning on purchasing the equipment needed to Powdercoat parts myself & learning the process! I am considering offering this as a service to others & I wanted to see what interest you had in such a service Please vote on what you would choose as your "color of choice" if you could have your hardware colored and yes........It will work on ANY tremolo! Thanks Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 it will work, but be careful of your tolerances I powder coated an edge not to long ago, only to have the string blocks not fit and have the saddles all rubbing after it was done The plating should have been stripped first. Did you find a good deal on powdercoating equipment? I was looking into it when I was doing motorcycles, but the cost was exhorbitant for equipment to do it properly. it's kewl if you're gonna make a go of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 I know somebody who can do the powdercoating very cheap... well I think it's cheap The drummer in my band wanted black hardware on his drums, so he let them powdercoat it black. There are two layers on it.. black and black gloss. All the hardware for one snare, 2 toms and one bassdrum was 70 euro total. That's about 75 bucks.

darren wilson Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 White, brushed aluminum (or satin chrome?) and "rust" would be really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum5545 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 So, Dave, has any of this gone through since [quote]Feb 19 2003, 10:21 PM[/quote] ? Who keeps reviving these old polls?!!! Oh, and if you could work out cosmo black-esque coating, that'd be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
