TJ-07 Motherbaord Tray Powdercoating

BrokenArrow · 09-19-2009, 06:48 AM

Is it better to completely disassemble the motherboard tray (drilling rivets and all) to have it powdercoated?

Or do most people leave it as it came from the factory and powdercoat all in one go?

I have gone through all of the build logs and never see the powercoated motherboard tray taken apart.

Drill out the rivets and powder coat it separately.

I removed the backplate (Rivets), but left the PCI brackets and I/O square on there, powercoating was perfect.

Good info. I was more worried about the little corner gusset plates.

I powdercoated without removing any rivets. Looks good.
