    If you are going to powder coat, use high temp lab metal as a filler. You can also use Evercoat product called metal 2 metal. JB Marine is good to about 550 degrees. I think powder coat temps can get up to 500 degrees.
    Check with your powdercoat guy cause sometimes they can use more powder and fill stuff. He will know if he sees what you need filled. He would know his temps and if he can powder coat over JB Marine Weld.

    My preferred high temp filler is High Temp Lab Metal.

    Here is braking plate areas I filled, sanded then dusted with my bead blaster.
    I use Advance auto Parts/Brake cleaner to rinse off before painting and baking. It has the right chemicals in it.
    Paint work should come out like original.

    Well I got all my rubber, rim locks, wheel bearings, and Gun Kote. Lil skeptical on the color of the Golden Nickel, but whom knows till I paint a sample part with it. Now, I'm hoping that my spokes show up tomorrow.
    If not, I got plenty of painting this weekend. I'm supposed to get more Husqvarna stencils and logos tomorrow as well.

    the rims with logos polished into them look like something from a fantasy husky products catalog...totally ridiculous. im sure the pics really dont do them justice.

    Thanx! I kinda slid one against the tire last night and think they will look good and tire gonna soften them a lil. Can't wait to see them surrounded with polished spokes, tires on, hubs/brake plates painted, then on the bike.
    Think my son now wants me to do his modern Husky rims. I have a plan for the Maico now that should look cool. Thanx to Charlie, I will be having an aluminum swingarm for the Maico. Itching to get that all polished up and some paint artwork on it.
