Can you powder coat valve stems?

I have UPR's stock ones. I have 8 of them. I am wanting to go to a all black rim, pretty soon. Can I get these powder coated black? Trying to think ahead.

Not if there is any rubber in them - they will melt in the oven. If they are ALL metal, then it wouldn't be a problem. You can powdercoat anything metal that will withstand the curing temperatures.

They are all metal. I was just wondering about how it would go on the threads. Will the inside get it though?

Does piss can mean spray paint? I never even thought about that!

They are the stock ones. It's what is on the installed pic.

yes spray paint.

Since they are already chromed you can paint them with spray paint and not worry about them rusting. Because they are so small it would be too pricey to powder coat them, compared to painting. You should get just what you want with a spray can and save some money too. :thumb:
