Quick question. Anyone ever powdercoated driveshafts? Will it put them out of blanace? Going to do the ones from the Mini soon and then we thought it might unbalance them. Any help info appreaciated!

jack the car up at the front, start the engine, stick it in top and put a brick on the pedal, then start off with varying grades of sand paper gentley touched onto the spinning shaft to remove old paint and get them back to a nice smooth finish, then holding a paint brush (tightly) run the brush along the rotating shaft and avoid the splatter....... will only take about 5 mins.... and gives the inside of your wheel arches that 'cool' 90s splatter look!

I doubt driveshafts are in balance to begin with.

they are actually mate, well mine is anyhow.
I had mine powder coated a few years back, and it was out of balance after but with a bit of sand paper all was fine.
Do as Ratlook says matey.

I was talking about a propshaft, but I would of thought anyhting spining at a possible great speed would benefit from balancing would it not.

not sure realy, but the forces will be alot less due to being closer to the point of rotation. on the kitten i stripped the prop to bare metal, and spray painted it with a nice even coat, no vibrations yet.
