Powder coat barrels?

Is the BBE coating DIY or do the parts have to shipped to Swain?

To do it you would need a way to remove all oil from the casting, an oxide blaster, a gravity feed gun, and a dedicated oven to bake at 350 degrees. The coating is available from techline. Jim

Well, if you put it that way.....(insert Jack Benny facial expression)

Thanks, hoped it was just a sprayon.

Jim , thanks for providing some quantifiable data . Any idea if the effect would be
more or less evident on an aluminum cylinder or head as opposed to the cast iron
stock Norton cylinder ?

The supplier says it is effective on aluminum. I installed a coated head on my bike a few years ago but there were other changes made at the same time so I couldn't compare the results.

I have had trouble with chipping on aluminum parts after a couple years also. Maybe caused by incorrect preparation? Jim
