    Guys,

    I have just had an old school custom sisy bar made for my wide glide. However, I need to get some old powdercoat off it, and get it re-powdercoated. Anyone have any recomendations for places that might do it in Cambeltown, Sydney.

    I live in Sydney.
    I got my primary, timer and gear box covers sandblasted and powder coated black at Gow St Padstow.
    Very happy with the work.
    Company is called Tech Powder Coating.

     Just another thing. 

    I had some original powder coated forward controls 

    That were chipped and scratched, I got some paint stripper from 

    Bunnings and got them back to bare metal. 

    Youll save some money. 

    Paint stripper was about $24. Still have shitloads of the stuff.

    All you need is a brush and scrapper. 

    It wouldnt take more than 20 minutes to do.

    See how you go.

     Don't know how they do it these days, but the preparation before painting was very important, if,  I repeat if you want it to last steel should be phosphated before been Powercoated............

    Used to work at Silcraft, had a lot of gear there done this way, before Ford & GMH started buying all their supplies from China etc, then assembled the parts here.............

    Ah, how I love Free Trade .......................Not

    just for a little feedback I followed all your above advice.

    I stripped the sissy bar myself and had no toruble, I then took it to Tech Powder Coating. The finish was excellent and done in less then a week for the cheapest price qutoed. He charged me $50.

    thanks giorgious.
