Powder coat chassis |
| This is a typical example of a car chassis blasted and powder coated. We have powder coated chassis for vintage cars, Triumph Stags, Kit cars, kart chassis, buggy chassis and formula 3 racing cars. How to prepare your chassis for painting. All we want is what you want painting. The chassis or sub frame needs to be striped of all brackets and fittings Remove bearings. Remove grease and road dirt. |

| What we will do. Cleaning and preparation. The chassis will be placed in or controlled pyrolysis oven where it will be heated in excess of 400 degrees Celsius. This will burn off the grease and old paint, road oils and grease and turn it to ash. The heat and weight is distributed evenly to prevent distortion. The heating process will also semi anneal the steel to extend it’s life from fatigue fractures. The chassis will then be grit blasted to remove rust any residual paint ash and give the chassis a good key for its pre-treatment. Painting The Tri-resin(steel) powder coating system is then applied. The same high specification paint system that is applied to our architectural commercial work. Chemically pre-treat steel, and seal with an acrylic resin, for corrosion protection. To epoxy powder coat prime, for a waterproof film and a thicker aesthetic finish. To apply highest quality architectural grade polyester powder, for better ultra violet protection compared to industrial polyesters. Average thickness 140 to 200 microns. (Industry standard BS6497 only requires one coat at 60 microns.) Threads You have two choices: 1. Leave in the nuts and bolts, these will then get painted. The paint around the edges of the threads will be broken when they are removed, leaving a serrated edge but the threads will have been protected. Not screwing the bolt in fully will help. 2. Leave the threads alone, and we will mask them, but be prepared to run a tap or dye. We will endeavour to protect as many threads as possible Turnaround Most jobs are turned round with in one to two weeks. Wrap in bubble wrap. The Tri-Resin™ system has been tested and rated for use as C5M(Marine use. The cost The price to powder coat a similar chassis black as shown £220.00+VAT. Other colours are available including metallics, approximately 100 to choose from, please allow an extra £25.00. Delivery Chassis will need to be delivered and collected. |
