Painting clutch cover and stator cover best method
swordcombat:
Yeah i know is sounds strange , but i want to paint my stator cover and clutch cover on my kx250.
Now the clutch cover is magnesium pro circuit and the stator is standard plastic.
Now i want paint that is hard wearing because of boot rub.
Obviously i cant get plastic powder coated and would rather do it myself anyway.
Would i be better priming them first and what would be the best type of paint to use?
Foxx4Beaver:
powder coating would be the way to go if you're worried about boot wear...mag cover would be a different story.
there's guys on here that do it....or you can get your own powder coating kit on-line for $100....all you need is an oven big enough to fit the parts....you could use a toaster oven for a clutch cover.

Yeah magnesium needs to be de-gassed before powder coating so im told?
I was also thinking of plasti dip for the stator cover?

it shouldn't be to big of deal.
plasti dip might be a good idea...I myself have never had anything "dipped", so I have no idea how durable it is or the process.
