Hi can you powder coat rocker cover with out removing internal baffle plate I've notice one of the plastic bits in one of the rocker cover is broken oil filler one does it matter thanks Stephen

Not really as any plastic will more than likely melt from the process of being baked.

 

I have seen them been done, but advised to remove the baffles first.

It looks aball ache to remove i thought they could be tape up with gaffer tape before Blasting an Coating

gaffer tape would just melt too.

I had some motorcycle parts powder coated before i think they just cover the bits that didn't need Coating with masking tape

Its usually a type of tin tape, but as its metal it can withstand the 800+ degrees that the oven puts out.

 

Any sort of paper or plastic will be incinerated. :(

Masking tape is just fine. It doesnt get incinerated. I used to use it all the time.

 

Im not sure about the glue/mastic stuff holding the plate on??

I just painted mine .Easier...cheaper.:biggrin:

Thanks I've got some motorcycle parts i got to get powder coated so i was going to get them done at the same time anyone remove the baffle plate before

Just bolt the exhaust and intake valve covers together with a piece of wood/triplex sandwiched in between the 2 covers (hope this makes sense, as I don't have a picture) and have it powder coated that way.

Works fine and I've had numerous covers powder-coated that way.

 

....unless you want each cover in a different color ? :wacko:

Pretty sure its about 200C for powder coating, I used to do it for a small company in dorset

My school does it at 200C :yes:

Which is still enough to melt certain plastics but not all
