I was wanting to update the look of my dash in my 93 27' fountain fever. It has a black throttle and drive selector lever. Has anyone tried to paint or powdercoat their stock levers?

Griff

You could do either. You just have to remove them and disassemble. Then paint or powdercoat. Good prep work is the key to a good finish.

powder coated.....

Those levers turned out nice! What about the base plate? It seem to be plastic? Can you powdercoat plastic?

Griff

Its not plastic. Its aluminum with rubber inserts.

Cool thanks for the input guys. I will go ahead and have mine powdercoated, should save me a few bucks!!

I see your from IL,theres a place in Zion IL J and J powder coating they have done a couple of twin set ups for me,I always have them first do the color and then go over them with clear ,they get around $150.00 .

but you do have to take them apart,remove all springs and check balls ,rubber stops and neutral switches

I always have stuff powdercoated clear on top as well, another thing that I have found works well is to "clear" powdercoat overtop of polished aluminum, it protects it from yellowing or oxidizing and protects it from gas, or chemicals as well

I had my throttles, shifters and bunch of other things powder coated over the summer. Find a good quality powdercoater, I had a couple of pieces done twice because I didn't like the finish from the first powdercoater and he took 6 weeks. I have a thread coming soon on my new cockpit.
