Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993Hey guys, I am prepping to powder coat my BSD. I pulled the rails off, they are still in decent condition, but online I see they sell “raw” rails and “raw” lock bars.. do I really need raw, or will the powder coat stick fine to the original oem Williams parts?
Also, is there an easy way to get the double sticky tape off the back of the old rails? And has anyone had any luck powder coating wire-forms /habit trails? Or does that not last very long?

if you are having a pro shop do it, usually they have a cleaning process/ sand blasting before they do it. better to buy raw if you are buying new just to have a better/cleaner surface for powder to stick to. not necessary though.

goo gone, gasoline, several ways with elbow grease.
