This is a good idea. I had thought about baked enamels, but not very seriously.
The main advantage is, the mavic cranks are 2014-T6 (2014 aluminum is *always* heat-treaded and aged, which is what the T6 means. Check
here for more info), which means 120F isn't going to effect the metal. A problem is, I don't know what alloy is used on the mich primato hubs. ALL of the lit online says "anodized aluminum alloy," which tells me nothing.
I had doubts as to the resulting strength of my parts after powdercoating. They cure it at insanely high temps. Any metallurgists want to weigh in here?
So, jeff, some questions. Any top coats? What brands did you use? I couldn't find anything via google. Where did you get your enamels and roughly how much money did the whole process cost you? It sounds fairly cheap. Did you use your home oven? Is your home oven gas-powered, or electric? If the fumes are flammable, I don't want to blow up my whole house.
Thanks for the tips!
