Repaired pivot holes and am wondering if anyone has repaired powder only in the area that was worked on

Any opinions? The powder was fresh before I'd hate to do it all over just for the pivot areas... basically I want to put it in the oven again to powder those 2 areas only but I don't know if the other powder will burn or anything

it can be done but i have never done it myself and if i was ever asked to i would not take the job. theres no way to blend new powder with old, already cured powder. even if you got someone to do it for you it would probably start to flake off at the seam. imho either strip it down and re powder or rattle can that spot so it wont rust.

:rofl: Peeps are always asking why I don't PC my bikes. This guy does powder for a living and pretty much sums it up why I don't use PC. I have been breaking motor mounts for 10 years now. But you can't tell!!! Clean the welds and repaint. Just feather in the edges between new and old paint.

As much as it pains me to say but there is something to be said for paint.

Got it back today isn't too bad I'm gonna touch it up with paint. Cost me 275 to fix those holes and I have tonys gusset kit installed already so I couldn't use his repair kit for the holes. Can out nice yet and still next week I'll be brapping again
