Very nice, I really like the white and green look.

 

[smokinram114]

yea.. note to self. dont powdercoat aluminum.. def makes them weaker... result of "hoping" off a snow bank.

Ouch! All that work and not even a couple rides in and your back to square one!

I have seem that happen as well to a Kessler guy.....bent his balck M8 rails.

Hope that doesn't happen to mine. I had mine done this summer. I can't see this hurting unless the wrong temp was used and it changed the property of the rails.

you are correct. mine were probably to hot. I did find alot of info from BBS wheels explaining why they paint their wheels.

I was always told that it was better to get aluminum stuff anodized vs. powdercoated.

Maybe that will eliminate some of the issue?

WOW - that sucks. A little bit of a project ahead of you.
