I want to repaint my wonder bar a semi-gloss black. There is some surface rust on it. What is the best way to clean off the surface for primer and paint?

 

Wire wheel in the angle grind does a good job. Could also use some sandpaper/steel wool, but it would take longer.

 

Yep, a wire wheel in an angle grinder, then sand it with some 180-200 grit to make it smoother. I just got some rust stop primer and paint, a few coats of primer and red will make it look like new.

 

Get it blasted and powder coated. That is for sure the BEST way.

 

I AGREE! I had some of my sled parts powdercoated the glossiest black he had, still looks like a mirror after 100+ miles of ridin. But I'm sure both sway bars would be at least $120, my 4 a-arms cost me $105.

Edit: lol i mean a wonderbar, so ya i bet for $30 bucks you could have it done.

 

$30 dollars for sandblasting and powder coating sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for the information.
