Harley Davidson Sportster Wheels Revitalized — Powder Coated AIO Chrome
Bringing back old and worn out parts to a new look is on of the things powder coating has become quite popular for. The classic Harley Davidson motorcycles will always be a favorite among enthusiasts and as they get older restoring them will continue to grow in demand.
Here we have a set of Harley Davidson Sportster wheels. As you can see from the first picture they have seen better days. Years of use and the environment have put them in a sad state of appearance. But IPG Coating can bring them back to as good as new with our coating capabilities. This customer didn’t want to be too flashy but still restore the wheel to have a great look. We chose the AIO Chrome for this project and as you can see the results are just amazing.
The wheels as they looked when they arrived to the shop. Years of use can make these great looking wheels look poorly.
Here is a shot of the wheel blasted and ready for coating. It is always interesting to see what the parts look like after the media blasting is performed.
The finished product in AIO Chrome. The AIO Chrome gives the wheel a bit more gloss than a basic silver. A great look for sure. Ready to give the motorcyle an entirely new, refreshed look.
Powder Coated Billet Specialty Wheels — High Gloss Mirror Black
Here is a set of 15″ wheels that we recently did for a customer. This is a great drag wheel type setup from Billet Specialties. They come with a very nice polished aluminum look directly from the manufacturer but this customer was after a more stealth look that our powder coating services can offer.
Follow the picture timeline below as we go through the process of making over this wheel for a great new look.
Billet Specialty Wheels as they looked when dropped off by the customer. As you can see they have a nice look to them already but with the large array of coating color options personalization is very easy.
This picture shows the wheels after the initial prep process. Putting them in the Blast Cabinet and hitting them with Glass Bead takes off any old coatings, paint, etc, that is on the wheels to prepare the surface for the coating process. Ater this we do a small amount more cleaning of the wheel, then pre-bake it, coat it and final cure it.
Finished product. The Super Mirror High Gloss Black looks incredible in person. Hard for the pictures to do it justice. What a great way to personalize your vehicle. This particular color is quickly becoming one of our most popular options.
IPG Coating preparing to Launch !!!
IPG Coating has been an idea of mine for quite some time now. After mulling it over as to whether or not to do it and continuing to put time in with research and forecasting estimates for the potential business I finally pulled the trigger on the project and so far am happy with the potential results and success. Our timeline from initial equipment and supplies purchase to equipment setup and test runs has actually been quite in line with what I was shooting for. I think in total we are only 5 days late on the estimated time frame which I am quite content with for this type of project.
I really look forward to working with this portion of the business over the next couple of months and pushing it to the potential that I feel it has. This blog will also hopefully be consistently updated with new coating business information as well as customer projects, images, and experiences.
