| | Posted : 13 Jan 2013 - 20:53 Post title : Powder coating drive pulley | | | Probably been addressed somewhere before, but I'll ask again.
I am considering having the rear pulley powder coated. Especially with the short TORs, the rough, unfinished-looking pulley really stands out and I feel compelled to do something about it. Anybody done it? Any issues?

| | Posted : 13 Jan 2013 - 21:17 Post title : Re: Powder coating drive pulley (Re: Xfarmer) | | | Got mine done with the wheels. Looks good to start with. But after a few tyre changes it tends to get knocked on the edges of the top. If your real carefull you should have a nice looking pulley (and really easy to clean) for a long time. Mine need a slight touchup now, after an altercation with a wheel change. remember not to get the mateing face coated.

Got it done in Silver as with the wheels. Two wheels with pulley for less than 100 pounds inc shot blast (160 bucks).

 the silver looks really good. I was kinda leaning towards black, but now I'm not sure.

I'm going to need new tires this spring, so I will probably have the pulley done at that time. The wheels will probably have to wait for another tire change. They are still in pretty good shape.
With my red haze paint, I think I will most likely go with black. Thanks for the feedback, guys.
