Why Powder Coat Your Motorcycle

Superior to Paint for Bike Applications

Motorcycle Components We Coat

Frames

The frame is the canvas of your build. Our frame powder coating services deliver:

  • Complete strip and prep - remove old paint, rust, and contaminants
  • Precise masking - protect threads, bearing surfaces, and swingarm pivot
  • Any color or finish - gloss, matte, metallic, candy, or custom match
  • Full cure verification - ensure complete crosslinking for maximum durability

Wheels and Rims

Motorcycle wheels see extreme conditions - road debris, brake heat, curb contact. Our wheel coatings withstand it all:

  • Spoked wheels - coat rim and hub separately
  • Cast wheels - complete coverage including inner barrel
  • Single-sided swingarm wheels - specialty preparation for complex shapes
  • Any finish - match frame or create contrast

Engine and Transmission Cases

Engine cases need finishes that handle heat, oil, and vibration:

  • High-temperature formulations for cylinder heads and exhaust areas
  • Wrinkle and texture finishes for vintage authenticity
  • Metallic and pearl effects for show bikes
  • Color-matched to frame for cohesive build

The Motorcycle Coating Process

Step 1: Complete Disassembly

We work with your mechanic or can recommend one. Components must be fully disassembled - no rubber, plastic, bearings, or electronics.

Step 2: Stripping and Prep

Old paint, powder, or plating is removed. Metal is repaired, welded if needed, and prepared for coating.

Step 3: Masking

Critical surfaces are masked with high-temp silicone plugs and tape:

  • Frame threads and bearing seats
  • Wheel bearing bores and brake mounting surfaces
  • Engine mating surfaces and oil passages
  • Swingarm pivot bores

Step 4: Coating and Curing

Components are coated and cured in temperature-controlled ovens. Different components may require different formulations.

Step 5: Inspection and Reassembly

Every part is inspected before release. We can coordinate with your mechanic for reassembly.
