Title: Powder coating your gas cap, need to disassemble? Post by: Veloce-Fino on August 03, 2011, 07:08:37 PM Taking a bunch of shit to the powdercoaters this weekend, gas cap included.
Is it necessary to disassemble the gas cap "unit"?? I have no idea how hot the baking ovens get, and I definitely don't want to melt shit. Title: Re: Powder coating your gas cap, need to disassemble?

Minus 2 cool points for calling Johnny 5 Wall-e. [thumbsdown] C'mon MAN!!!!!! [cheeky] --- Back to your question --- I would completely dissasemble every piece to ensure proper even coating. But....., best to check with the person doing the powder coating. Title: Re: Powder coating your gas cap, need to disassemble?

The fiddliest part is removing the tiny hinge pin for the key flap - and getting it back in afterwards is equally amusing. Title: Re: Powder coating your gas cap, need to disassemble?

Yup - just find something to gently drift it on out... and then watch as those 2 little spring plates fall out [laugh]. Its just a bit fiddlesome.Title: Re: Powder coating your gas cap, need to disassemble?
