Powder coating sway bar brackets

in #powdercoating7 years ago (edited)

Here is the first project after I got my sand blasting cabinet setup. These are sway bar brackets off of an 8.8 explorer rear end out of Ford Explorer. I wasn't going to use these brackets so thought it would be perfect to try the chrome powder coat from Eastwood. First I sand blasted them, cleaned them with acetone, out gassed them, powder coated them, and then baked them in the Eastwood oven.

Here is before and After in one picture:

Here is the before picture and they both looked like the one on the left before I did anything to them:
