They look mint! Are they professionally sprayed at a sprayers or done with aerosols?

Hello, i got these powercoated at a local powder coaters in N.Ireland then took them to a machine shop to get the top face milled.

If i remember correctly they only charged £20-30 to blast and powdercoat and £25 to machine them.

Im not sure what exact colour the blue was, just one i picked from a chart.

I sent mine off to Mike to be crackle-coated

I painted mine with high heat black wrinkle paint then Monster Dave machined the top - different and looks very tidy

I need to get mine done too. Is the top polished up first & then lacqured or mask up the top & lacquer around it ? My painter isn't too keen on using polish in the paint shop. Last paint job juast all flaked off, Don't want the same happening again.

Normally the whole rocker cover is stripped and everything on the outside obv is painted.

Then people with get the top face milled or you can sand it off and get a nice finish using very fine sandpaper.

The ones above i posted were sandblasted, powder coated and then milled and thats the way they have been left.

Cheers David. Maybe because it was lacqured so the last time is why it peeled off.

Anyone got pics of a fully polished one?
