a few before and after shots of one set of springs.

Before:


bare spring after sandblast, then Super Chrome on right. will get clear coated next.

Uh oh. broke my spanner tool on the 2nd shock. which tool are you guys using to unscrew the cap off the shock ?

Well that looks nice, is that paint.

Yes, that "chrome powdercoat" looks amazingly like chrome!

If it’s powder coat why would you need to clear coat.

Per the manufacturer,

"To maintain a true chrome like appearance, a top coat of PPS 2974 Clear Vision is required. Alternatively, any Prismatic transparent, candy, or various gloss clears, may be used depending on your desired finish"

clear coat dulled springs a bit but they came out good. I only hope the rest of the bike looks this good when I'm done.
Thanks to the site that sells the seals for these >> www.nthrepro.com/

In case anyone is interested:
Powder by Prismatic

1. Super Chrome + Clear Vision on springs, spacers, adjuster, top part of rod.
2. Card Black (semi gloss) on reservoir

1 step backwards today. Dropped a tool on the swingarm and chipped it. Decided to strip it back down and powder coat it since that area of bike takes a lot of impact from road debris, etc.

Gave the 125 tool kit a little love as a paint test. Found this hot looking candy paint color that is a VERY CLOSE match to the 125, but slightly darker. Applied it tool a few of the tools from the 125.

Hoping for roller in about a week.

Dang!
Even the tool kits on this forum are nicer than mine.....

Bah Bah hahahah
