Powder coating service – Simson KR51/Schwalbe frame parts (custom RAL)

Sandblasting, priming and powder coating of frames and frame parts for Simson KR51/1 and KR51/2 Schwalbe (except tank and sheet metal parts).

Details:

• Free choice of color: Your desired color can be selected from the RAL color palette.
• Surface: Powder coatings are available in gloss or matt.
• Processing time: Processing takes about 4 to 8 weeks. Delays may occur during the peak season for painting work, especially in fall and winter. For urgent orders, we recommend making an early enquiry - or trying a bit of luck!
• Clear lacquer as an option: Available at an extra charge.
  • Enhances the gloss of glossy powder coatings.
  • Gives matt powder coatings an even more matt appearance.
  • Provides additional protection and increases the durability of the coating.

Important notes on powder coating:

• Frame number: The position of the frame number is not coated. It is sandblasted and covered with a protective film to prevent painting. Optionally, we can seal this area with clear lacquer for you after return, if required.
• Thread: Threads should be secured with screws to prevent damage. Unsecured threads must be reworked.
• Nameplates: Please remove before shipping. If this is not possible, we will take care of this and return the signs separately.

• Frame race A: This is removed from the frame before powder coating, as there is often a lot of grease in this area. This grease could dissolve during the coating process and damage the fresh paint. The frame race is returned with the painted parts. If there are later difficulties inserting the frame race, the excess paint at this point must be removed independently.
• Fork ring at the bottom: If the fork ring is already fitted to the fork guide (triple clamp), it remains in place during powder coating. As dismantling is often difficult, we ask you to do this yourself in advance if necessary.
• Fork guide (fork bridge): The threaded area on the fork guide is protected with adhesive tape to prevent paint from penetrating.

Procedure:

1. Preparation: Remove coarse chain grease, send in all frame parts and enclose a note with your address, telephone number, e-mail and your color request (RAL number).
2. Editing: The frame parts are sandblasted, primed and powder-coated in the color of your choice.
3. Return shipment: The parts are returned to you ready powder-coated.

Quality note:
Powder coating provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. Small irregularities such as dust inclusions or a slightly rough structure can occur and are characteristic of industrial coatings.

Additional information:

Parts that are not to be painted should be must be removed before shipping or to be labeled accordingly.

If you have any queries or special requests, please contact us before dispatch.

Please remove any parts that can be dismantled, to dismantle, instead of them to tape, as masking is ineffective - no adhesive tape can withstand sandblasting. All other areas that are not to be processed are professionally masked by us after sandblasting before the powder coating is applied.
