I have a motorcycle that has a powder coated frame. What can I use to get it cleaned and shining? It is very very dull right now...How do you clean and polish Powder Coated Chrome?
Mel - pie u said powder coat chrome.... u mean paint. If it is really dull get some Dupont white polish compound and HAND RUB till the milky surface is gone. Then use turtle wax.
I used a compound called TR-3 years ago and it worked well too, but haven't seen it in years. Remember HAND! These compounds will take all the paint off pretty quick with an electric buffer.How do you clean and polish Powder Coated Chrome?
There is no such thing as powder coated chrome. If its chrome use Mothers Mag and Aluminum cleaner. If it's powder coat use most any auto cleaner.
Pro Honda Cleaner + Polish, comes in an aerosol can. Most amazing thing ever invented since Red Bull
Powder coats are pretty stong, I would think any quality paint polish would do. Maybe check local body shop

What is the difference between a powder coated metal, and a thermo-enamelled one?
For example in the process, cost, finished look (glossy or matt), durability etc.What is the difference between a powder coated metal, and a thermo-enamelled one?
the thermal enamel is thicker therfore more durable but its not as flexible so it depends on what its used for
for vehicles for example its better to use powder coat because of the vibration
the thermal enamel is more glossy and also more expensive of course you can pick a flat enamel as well stove grates for a gas stove have thermal enamel on themWhat is the difference between a powder coated metal, and a thermo-enamelled one?
Powder coating is essentially plastic, and flexible.
Thermo-enamel is basically glass, which is not very flexible, easy to chip, but susceptible to higher heat.

Can i powder coat the rims on my car pink even tho it is a lease?
is there a way to take the paint off?Can i powder coat the rims on my car pink even tho it is a lease?
You can but you will pay dearly for it when you turn in the car at the end of your lease.Can i powder coat the rims on my car pink even tho it is a lease?
Diane is correct. You can do whatever you want to a leased car ( and as long as you buy it when the lease is due, it still won't matter ). However, if you plan on walking away from the vehicle at the end of the lease, the leasing company will want to restore the car back to original so you may be on the hook to replace all 4 rims at that time.
Powder coating isn't paint. It's impossible to restore the surface ti it's original condition.
I agree with the above person. They will charge you as much as possible for it.cover girl

How long does it take to powder coat alloys?
i want to get my alloys powder coated white. how long does it take, how long will they need my wheels for?How long does it take to powder coat alloys?
Actual powder coating takes very little time, however the prep work before the powder coating can take some time.
Depending on the amount of work the company has on you could expect to wait between three days and two weeks.
Ja.How long does it take to powder coat alloys?
Anyone willing to powder coat your wheels will do the prep work. This is because they'll need to be sandblasted to prep the surface.
It can take a few hours to bake the coating on. Otherwise, it wouldn't get a good bond to your wheel.
What might take a while is the amount of work a company has. It would depend on their back log of work. Most companies maintain this so they can keep their employees busy.
powder coating with plastic paint powders takes a few seconds or minutes, heating %26amp; cooling a kiln of items takes several hours, I imagine. allow a week per batch to be done. preparation is everything-that is where you can lower the cost, by DIY properly. BTW colour range is V limited.
best thing to do is phone around a few powder coating places and see if they can do it for you, ask timescales and prices...
less than a day to do normal lead time 2-3days...have a look on kellysearch for companies near you.

Whats the easiest way to remove the powder coat from my alloys?
hi,
i dont want to have them sand blasted any tips needed.Whats the easiest way to remove the powder coat from my alloys?
You are gonna have to have them sandblasted. Powder coat is baked on like a ceramic glaze. Whats the easiest way to remove the powder coat from my alloys?
Media Blast, Have them repainted and clear coated or polished.
toothpaste left on for a few days will dissolve it.
good luck...you do know powder coat is baked on????...blast it off is only way
its hard if you dont media blast them. but acetone will work the second best
