Actually the shop I had my exhaust jetcoted at had this great big article framed on the wall talking about how many many times lighter powdercoting was than paint....so much so that the shop I took my stuff too was started by a Nascrap pit crew chief who was looking for weight saving options for his parts and found that powdercoting was SO much lighter that he had every part powdercoted instead of painted

Just a little tidbit

BTW...my pipes now

I can't add much here, but I would think that PC is more durable. I painted the wheels on my F4i and they came out great, but I have scratched them up changing tires. Other than the wounds I inflected they are holding up well.

As a side note, I don't really like black wheels so I decided to paint mine silver (silv/Blk CBR) As a nod to my youth i used Mopar Argent Silver. That was the body, grill and wheel paint they used in the late sixty's on their Hi Po cars. Anyway I painted it over the Honda black. After it cured it turned a gold/Titanium sort of color that is similar to the gold found on some Ducati wheels and frames. Anyway the color was a surprise that I was pleased with. I guess if I had used gray primer they would have turned out silver.
