Enzo should beable to help you out.


Its a Fox coating. Not a lot of people can do it.

I think they all send it away to get it done. Call Charlie at CJR in Calgary he can probably help you out. Pm me if you need his number

My understanding is that there is no one outside of Japan that does Kashima coating. Last time I checked anyone that offered it as a service sent your part away. Maybe thats changed???

Its not a Fox coating and they don't own the technology, they just exclusively use it on their products.

do a search on whether or not kashima is worth it. might save yourself some money.

DLC is a good option and can be done local if its a wear surface like a fork tube. If its for looks like a shock body or something kerakote is a good choice.

What are you looking to get done?

The two shock bodies on my sled. The front experts have a nice coating, the rears are just raw aluminum. I dislike how it ages

I’ll probably send the bodies out to get anodizing that “looks” the same.

Look into cerakote, I did a bunch of parts on my motocross bike and it doesnt wear like anodizing. Seems to hold up much better.

Are they wear type items? What is the mail thickness?

Thinking out loud I guess you could do only the exterior and leave the inside “as is” from skidoo

I think cerakote is like a couple thou.

I did all sorts; brake calipers, brake reservoirs, engine covers, rear shock linkages... Since I did it for looks only I left the inside of the parts the factory coating.

Here's what I had done.

 

[sirkdev]

just thinking like a cheapo here but would clear coat not be sufficient?

Just looking to match what is already on the sled, clear coat would be the wrong color

 

[lilduke]

So who in Alberta does anodizing?


I need a couple things done

 

[ZRrrr]

I've used Anderson Anodizing St. Albert a few years back. Did a nice job and it held up well.
