Thanks bud. You know any of the name's of the brand powder they are using ? might be a not so good company im thinking probably cheap and thats why they use it

I will find out for you just know it's the most basic colours


Dam man got so much I wanted powder coated but can't find decent work pity you to far

Oh and OCD as long as stainless touches aluminium it will do that those materials don't like each other

Yup, that's why I don't understand why they don't annodize the housing first to put a protective barrier between the aluminum and stainless.

Is the housing billet or cast? Because u can't anodise cast

Its not very often the knock-offs are a "better" product.... sounds to me like it might be the case, man I would be pissed if I were you! I kinda am right now....glad I went another route

ya is that a trip i mean u can anodize cast but it turn out flat and messed up looking only 6061 billet aluminum will turn out those bitchin anodized colors. i have a cast metal frame airsoft gun that was cast aluminum and had i anodized green and purple thinking hell ya this is going go be so sweet but when i got there to pick it up it was still cool but not what i wanted o well live and learn. but befor i had it anodized i had it takin to a mirror polish finishe by a shop and it just did not work out ill post pics later

hey u can always buy ur own powder and have your local shop use it on ur parts. you should talk to them and ill get u info on the good powder and prices and somewere u can order it

 

[OCD Solutions]

Do you annodize as well or just powder coat?

I really don't even care about the finish as long as the protective value is there.

 

[vwking]

i just powder coat but the guy i mentioned that polishes works inside of another company and they anodize brass plate chrome gold plate u name it zinc all of it and i could hook u up with them and they have really good prices and do great work big shop big tanks

Your pump turned out nice. I went a different "custom" route, and made my own pump.


Here's mine. 18 vane all stainless.

[vwking]

[snowxr]

here are some pics of cast aluminum anodized it turns out dull and flat

 

[OCD Solutions]

I don't see anything wrong with that finish. It's not like the jet pump is that visible in first place

 

[vwking]

then thats perfect if u want there number ill get it for u. also i think black would turn out better

Thanks for the offer and the info but I'm not too worried about it right now, my interest is more for future reference. I wouldn't risk damaging my pump by pressing the stator out but I will definately annodize the next stator housing should I ever have to repair the pump again.

Warranty??

I have a friend who had the same problem with his Skat Mag, nothing but problems. Ill let him chime in if he wants to. He's had to get it repaired numerous times then he said hell with it, sold it and put his stocker back in. This was before the day of the Newer Solas pumps that I think he's going to upgrade to at some time.

the only other issue is if the surface gets scratched or galled as its being pressed in, then it will no longer be protected. same for any machined edges like where the end of the casting meets the stainless. that would be my guess as to where the corrosion will find its spot to start. then it just undermines the surface and thats that. but I still think you would buy some time at any rate and it will be tons more protected than just painted or raw.

vwking- im sure that pic does the color no justice. I have a metallic red a friend did on my intake grate and its awesome, pics look pink or faded. something about the metallic or pearl that makes it look hazey at certain angles. not at all what it looks like in person. nice color.

Ya you are correct about it not shows true full colors it looks 100% badass in person anyways thanks for all the positive feed back im thinkin about starting a page on here offering powder coating. I already have a couple members that are sending me parts to paint so there will be some feedback from them in the next couple weeks.
