I'm thinking about starting a hobby/job of coating bike & tuner parts and I'm wanting your input on what you feel would be more useful. The only things I can think of right now is powder coat, black oxide, regular painting, and anodizing. I looked into chrome, but its wayy too expensive and deadly.. So vote on what you feel is more useful please! If you vote "Other", please post what you have on your mind.

Thanks!

You ever consider carbon fiber skinning? Or you can do it as an an addition. Cheap mats. Gives things like mirrors, dashes and such a nice look.

 

Never thought of that.. Good idea! Thanks!

 

Powder coating is by far the cheapest to get into if you have an oven and is WAY more durable then the rest of the things. I had most of my bike powder coated and it looks great and has yet to chip since 06

 

I voted for powder coating, but anodising in special colors will be popular too, and isn't that expensive.

 

Powder coating.
Awesome to see you on here again, speed!

You were my first friend on cbrforum.
that is, before i went to war with Kuro!

 

Thanks for the input guys! Anyone else have opinions??

 

Ceramic coating,awesome finish[as long as the surface to be coated is 101%.]
Cheap ,very cheap.See the heat shields i had done on the old bomb,in the supersport/Hurricane section.
