How do I prepare my project for powder coating?

The only thing you need to do is completely disassemble it and remove all plastic, rubber, electrical and "greased" (bearings, etc.) parts The temperatures involved will ruin any "soft" parts and burn off or "boil" any grease on the parts. The temperatures, although high, ARE safe for tempered parts such as springs. Soldered parts cannot be powder coated since the solder will melt at the temperatures used in the process. Silver soldered and brazed parts are OK to be coated. Don't bother cleaning or sanding anything- that's part of our process and price!
