Cerakote is more of a matt finish, well, most of the colours, you can spray a clear coat over that to make it gloss.
It's a very thin coating and goes on at about 1 - 2 MIL so 0.0127mm - 0.0254mm.
Cerakote comes in at a 9H hardness and your normal powder I believe at around 3H.
Cerakote is...
Yes you can, they will obviously need to be stripped, and I haven't yet done a pair, but if it fits in my sandblasting cabinet and oven that I have at the moment, I can do them.
You can even Cerakote plastics, polymer, wood etc etc.
Surface prep for Cerakote is similar to Powder, so yes, you send them dirty and I will wash, de-grease blast and coat.......for now only on the Cerakote.
The only limitation I have at the moment is the size of my oven and my sandblasting cabinet, but I am in the planning phase to build a bigger...
Obviously Cerakote is more expensive than powder, so that's also why I want to go the powder route.
So to Cerakote hubs will be R1550.00 for the pair.
You send them dirty, I do the rest.
So I am thinking of selling my CNC and adding powder coating to my Cerakote business.
After that I want to sell my label press to add Vapor/Hydro Blasting.
I am a one man business, and having 3 separate "businesses" makes it very hard to make them all work.
So the plan is to focus on one side...
I am a 2T guy, but somehow this thing haunts me. Would love to ride it on a MX track.
And with Seb Tortelli and Josh Hill testing it, it won't be like the Alta, but way better.
If you buy MX boots with hinges, use WD40 on them, otherwise they squeak like crazy.
Not a problem on the MX track and it never bothered me in my TCX's but walking into a shop........turns heads :imaposer:
I think anything with proper hinges.
The Tech3's for example has very little protection for over extension. Even the older tech7's aren't good in that regard.

And new the Leatt, seems to look good as well.
Can't help feeling sorry for him, he still stutters a bit, but I think he needs to dumb down a lot of stuff in his head for the general viewer.......but he is a lot better and I like the guy, so that part doesn't matter one bit.
It was interesting to listen to Simon Crafar on Moto Rider World's live stream.
With Ducati running 8 bike some people think that they won't be able to afford it, but some of the bikes are older, so it's just maintaining them and not developing them. And then a whole lot of other info as Simon...
