Taking a bunch of shit to the powdercoaters this weekend, gas cap included.

Is it necessary to disassemble the gas cap "unit"??

I have no idea how hot the baking ovens get, and I definitely don't want to melt shit.

Hahah.... thank you for being so helpful..


people posting wall-e in my damn thread...

C'mon MAN!!!!!!   

--- Back to your question ---

I would completely dissasemble every piece to ensure proper even coating.
But....., best to check with the person doing the powder coating.

I figured as much. I was hoping I can has no disassemble and save the frustration of playing with the gas cap.

I was born in 88 man.... give me a break  

I pulled mine apart to send it out to be blackenated.

The fiddliest part is removing the tiny hinge pin for the key flap - and getting it back in afterwards is equally amusing.

i tried to remove that pin had failed hopelessly. does it knock right through?

Unless that's hard-anodized be prepared for it to fade to purple pretty quickly.

Yup - just find something to gently drift it on out... and then watch as those 2 little spring plates fall out  .  Its just a bit fiddlesome.
