We all have a bar we like that has the paint all messed up and scratched off.
I have an Oregon Power Match 30" bar that I am going to convert from 3/8 to 404 and want to give it a birthday.
The paint is in goodish condition but I hate the drab grayish color of them.
Plan is to take it back to bare metal and refinish it.
Possibly blue, possibly Cerakote.
I would like this thread to encompass all methods people use to do this.
How do you remove the old paint?
What do you use as a coating?
How durable is what you use for coating?
And my No. 1 question........... Where can I get STIHL bar stencils?
