Shelf Brackets & Plugs - 6 case

[fabes]

Signguy,
Are you suggesting that I sand the liner, while keeping those parts in, then powder coating the liner with the parts still in? Just making sure, because that sounds like a good idea.

I'll post a pic of the backs of both of these parts in a little bit...

We'll I wouldn't be sanding galvanized.. one it will wear your arm off before you done... sandblasting will work but keep it moving as it will warp the metal.

what I do to remove the galvanizing is soak it in a mixture of Muratic acid and water.. strong stuff, but faster and easier than the other two.  Aluminum Brighter works to to remove it..

if you haven't worked with it before, go slow and wear protective clothing, do it outside and don't breath it in.. other than all that .. it works great! gives a nice surface to powder coat.

if you don't remove the galvanizing, the baking process will cause it to outgas and you'l get small bubbles... talk to your powder coater and he may have some suggestiosn as well..

I believe the 6-case Vertical machines originally had a painted liner - like a flat grey. May be galvanized under the paint though.
