I am researching powder coated tins for a project I am working on but would like to see some pics of bikes that have been done already to see if its what I am after.....any advice would be gratefully received....especially if there are valid reasons not to do it!!

 

JRK joe the powder pro's bike is all powder.

 

Black starlight tins.

 

I think PC would look good. Only negative may be that if you have damage or need to repowder/paint, will be tough to remove.

 

That looks sharp.

 

Its 100 bucks to do the tins in NZ....about a tenth of what I was quoted for paint!!!!

 

How did they get the design in there, is it a decal or powder?

 

Its powder. He did the whole tank in candy gold, then used something to mask the design, and then powdered the black. I don't know if he removed the masking before or after baking, but it turned out great with clean lines. Also there is like 6 coats of clear so it looks a lot better in person.

 

That's got me thinking......

Are the clear coats powder as well?

 

Yes... all powdercoating.
