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:

- Cast wheels - complete coverage including inner barrel
- Single-sided swingarm wheels - specialty preparation for complex shapes
- Any finish - match frame or create contrast

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.
