Have my tracker done in a Yamaha matalic blue looks great the rest of the bolts and everthing are in matalic silver and I plan on beed blasting the rims and or powdercoating them in chrome but I'm not sure on what color to paint the rotors?  Would a guy be safe with a regular color good to 400F or do I need a high temp powder? Thanks also has anyone powdercoated the mag rims with good results??? Thanks again Justin |

I have had several sets of mags powder coated in the past with excellent results. Just be sure the coater plugs bolt holes and the inside of the hub where the bearings go. Regular powder should be more than sufficient for an XS disc. These aren't like F1 cars where the disks glow red hot!

regular powder cures at 400deg.. the hi temp powder i use cures at 475.. standard powder should be plenty... just keep it off the pad surface. or it will gum up..

I have a friend that owns a commercial powder coating business. He regularly powder coats Harley headers (aftermarket single wall tubes) therefore I think your in the clear on temps.

Ya you can get powdercoating powders in high temp now they just don't have the luster. I also just got into ceramic coatings that work well on pipes and motors.

I have ceramic coated headers (homade) and I really like them. The heat retention is amazing.

Oven cured. Look great, amazing stuff with the motor running I can touch the rear of the pipe with my bare hand. The heat retention is very good.
Cheers, 50gary

Something to remember about powder coat is once it is baked and cured it isn't reversable, it won't remelt. Plus the disc won't get near 400 degrees on a XS650 ridden on the street.

I am thinking of painting a TourMax front rotor (Mike sells them) - Do you think the alumi-hyde would do a good job on the gold part of the rotor, MrBob? Brownells has a kit that includes primer and air-cured aerosol flat back. Would any prep of the gold surface be called for?
thanks
