Mercury Racing Blue Anodized Pulleys
 

Who can strip my current blue pulleys and anodize them back in Mercury Racing Blue?

Jim,

I don't know where you call home, but...

Electro-Polish is a world class metal finishing facility in Dayton, OH. I don't know if they can do "Mercury" blue, but they DO have blue. You're probably going to have a difficult time sourcing an exact color match. I'd suggest going with hard anodize anyway, which is typically only available in clear or black.

Thanks. Brad.

I'm in far West KY, but I will check them out. Thanks!

Jim,

Just an FYI...

I'd call them and talk about masking the ID bore for both stripping and re-anodizing. There is some considerable material loss in the stripping process, and you probably want to retain the fit to the shaft.

Thanks. Brad.

Will do, Thank you! :drink:

Hey JD, Ive powder coated them with two stage silver under coat and a bright blue top turns out well.

F2,

I wondered about powder coating, given my recent positive experience with it on some cleat bezels. I just wonder about the wear factor. Have you run these pulleys? If so, how did they wear?

Thanks. Brad.

Thanks F2!

Silly question.

Are your pullies aluminum or steel?

If steel, I would guess powder is the way to go. I don't think you can anodize steel.

Xlint,

You are correct. Steel cannot be anodized. Didn’t even think to ask that question.

Thanks. Brad.

They're aluminum and currently anodized blue. I'm wanting to get them refinished to look new again.

Thanks!

I went with powder coat on the new aluminum idler pulley that replaced the stock Mercury plastic one. I used candy blue powder and it matches really well. Look at the idler pulley bellow the heat exchanger.

Thanks, did you have someone local powder coat it?

Eddie had that one done in Nashville, but not sure where. I know Travis Powder Coating has the same candy blue, because I have a few other pieces they did for me that match the pulley. I would try them or Stewy's here locally.

Thanks!

Has anyone powder coated mercury 525 valve covers? Mine started peeling so I stripped them last season and left them raw aluminum. They look okay but I'm thinking about powder coating them blue if it will last. Maybe anodizing would be better?

Look up the color illusion blue berg by Prismatic powders

That looks perfect. Thanks

Can anyone confirm if powdercoating effects belt slippage?. I am in the same postition on a couple blower pullies

paint them and clear coat
