I have vivid black 14 SG and looking to coat the fuel console and crash bar. What is your guys thought on powder coating those items vs leaving the chrome? Will the chrome hold up better vs the powder coating?

 

[baggerboy]

Powder coating would be cool!! If done correctly it should hold up as well as chrome.

I like powdercoating.

Like boy said if done right. Place that does my stuff, after sandblasting cooks the part to get all the moisture out. Then sprays it and cooks it again. The powder makes a big diff to.

I blacked everything out. Love powder coating. BUT. Black shows all!!!!

I have a guy about 2 hours away that will sandblast the parts, cook it, then spray and cook again as he walked me through the process. I got the horn cover from him and it was perfect. I know black shows all but want to make sure with those items they will hold up good. I have to make my mind up as I am taking the parts to him in 2 weeks

My console did scratch some but the crash bar and turn signals looked great. Floor boards and brake were great also.

Where you glad you did did the console? How bad was it scratched? Guess I will have to be extra careful

those bikes look great, but I came from the 60's . . . . CHROME CHROME on the Range!

I love all the chrome on my Heritage.

One more thing. I've had black cleared (powder) More durable.

My last bike was chromed till the hill rims, engine, foot pegs, handlebars, you name it and I hated cleaning it lol. I am a funny guy cause I don't like my bike dirty at all when I ride. Black helps with the polishing but still needs cleaned.

Your bike must be the one Jeff helped you with.

I just want to make sure I am making a good decision. I know chrome last a long time and does good job hiding scratches. I just want to ensure the crash bar and fuel console holds up good and will not look like crap in a year.

 

[Kainam]

Ive had powdercoat on my bike for 10 years now.

Don helped with the build. I loved the console black. Just Minor scratch or rubs from the seat as usual. Chrome looks great. I just love blackin it out.

 

[Deltasig]

Has the console held up good outside of the seat rubbing? A guy wants $300 for the console, engine crash bar, fender covers, and headlight trim. I am trading parts so it will cost me $100. If you can send me some pictures of your pic a few more that would be great.
