I am looking to get a couple of frames coated/ recoated and want something tougher/ more durable than standard powdercoat or wet paint. Travel bikes collect scratches, particularly when the owner is lazy about packing as I am.

Has anybody had experience with Cerakote on bike frames? How has it held up against abrasion and corrosion? Who applied it? How much did the coating cost? All the usual stuff.

I've spoken to a couple of guys who've used it. One a painter and one a powdercoater. It's tougher than paint but not as tough as powdercoat. Somewhere between the two and it's pretty expensive. The benefit is that it's thinner than powder but if you want durable, always powdercoat

How about corrosion protection? I have a silver-soldered 953 frame which is inherently susceptible to inter-granular corrosion of the brazing but that can be protected by clear coating. Does clear Cerakote do a good job of corrosion protection?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
