dude over here had his chop powder coated metalflake siilver(fenders, tank, frame) looked almost sweet as a paintjob, was way cheaper that what they woulda charged him for the same paint job with paint, probably because the prep is easier.

cons-it had a chip from riding, cant color match it, had to redo the whole thing to fix it, its thick as fuck so if you do manage to chip it, it looks kinda bad, and while it looked gd, it was a custom bike, and it shouldve had a deep wet paint job imo. it had the quality of a factory paint job. which isnt bad, unless you compare it to a good custom job. it had a long teardrop tank, that was where you could tell it wasnt glass smooth. but thats just stuff a show judge would notice, average person wouldnt give a shit.


anodizing looks really fuckin sweet

im pretty sure you can powdercoat exhaust(its metal, why not?), you just dont get any benefit from it other than looks, like if you ceramic coat em

just my op. if im factually wrong, whatev lol
