repainting
Powder coat is a nightmare after it starts to bubble. Over the summer, I took my plow completely apart, and had it sandblasted. The sand blasting cost me $165 for the moldboad, quadrant, a-frame and liftframe/light tower. After sandblasting, you have to be careful not to get the parts dirty or oily. I then applied a self etching primer. Then came 4 coats of Rustoleum Sunrise Red Gloss on the moldboard, and Gloss black on the other parts.
While the plow was disassembled, I had to weld on the a-frame, at the pivot point, because it had torn. (Common Problem) I also replaced all of the bolts with grade 8 bolts. My plow is 8 yrs old, so I figured it was time for a little rebuilding. I will try and post some pics for you guys.
