Coating parts with sealed oil bearings?

[jaysouth2000]

I have a question regarding coating things like alternators, water pumps and brake calipers. I coated an alternator, I removed the brushes and all internal electrical components. Only thing left was a sealed bearing which was pressed in. I coated with Extreme chrome with Clear. I got good results with coating the extreme chrome and clear. I got a beautiful finish, the only issue is the bearing began to weep oil and contaminated the coating on back of the part. My questions is can the curing heat be turned down to say 180-200 degrees and cure for longer to prevent the oil from oozing out, or would it be better to flash cure the part at say 450 for 5 minutes? What about bearing damage due to heat in the case of coating a water pump. I can seal a brake caliper but what about caliper damage due to the heat?

It has to be cured at it's cure temp, for the cure time. You can reduce temps a little, but you have to leingthen the time it bakes. You need to completely strip parts. That means bearings, Caliper seals, everything that will not handle 400* Bearings are only good till about 275 or so. Max temp we ever install a bearing is 300*. and then, their longevity is suspect. So you need to remove the bearings in them

Hears a tip for the back Alt bearing that can sometimes be a pain. I have a piece of roundstock that I use fro it. I think it's 3/8" can't remember. But anyways, fill the cavity behind the bearing with grease. Then use the rod and a hammer to push the grease to hydralic the bearing out. Sometimes putting electricians tape around the rod, so it seales well with the inside of the bearing. when you tap the rod in, it pushes on the grease that is behind the bearing, the grease then pushes the bearing out from the backside, unhurt. Then just clean all the grease off and coat away
