Does anyone have any FHE with either of these methods for their pressure plates? I have a red one that I want gold. I'd buy a new one but it doesn't seem like anyone makes a gold pressure plate for the DP slipper clutch. Pros and cons of either method?
Thanks in advance!

I had the pressure plate on my Surflex slipper PC, no issues and still looks new. The only things you need to do is make sure they don't PC the side that faces the motor and you need to remove the baring.

Nice. Does the bearing just slide out?
Thanks for the info.

No. 

You can either press it out using a shop press, or drift it out using a piece of wood (or a seal driver -- I got a set from Harbor Freight) and a hammer. 

If you have to beat hard on it with a press, you might want to replace it.  They only cost about $10.

P.S. I put three coats of Rustoleum on mine and >1 year later it looks fine.

P.P.S. If you drive a new bearing in, distribute the driver over both races (don't put all the force on the inner race).

I powdercoated my stock plate gloss black.
Looks pretty nifty with the contrast of the SS springs.. waytogo

I've painted several with urethane and they hold up great.

PC will interfere with the last friction/metal plate (depending on setup) and end up transferring to said plate as well as all over the rest of the clutch pack... Best to skip that part.

anodizing is the go..
but! if its already anodized red, the color will have to be striped before it can be re-anodized gold. Thats not a problem, but you will lose some size on the part (should be about .002" max). Which is also not a problem except in the bearing bore.  A good anodizer will keep the loss to a minimum so it shouldn't be a drama.
I did mine from red to gold and its fine, the bearing still fits ok, tho I did use some loctite when refitting..  just in case...

Cool. So far I can PC or spray paint it, but only the outside. Anodize it but have to have it stripped first.
Thanks for everyone's input, I probably would have messed it up with out you guys.  waytogo

The stock PP would look terrible anodized IMHO.  It's a cast piece, and as such has a lot of irregularities.  Better to PC it.  waytogo
