Default powdercoating ? & opinion

I have a EG standard and I have been debating on what to do with the engine covers , have the polished ones chromed or powdered coated. My ? is how close could a powdercoater come close to matching this color and whats your opinion are on how this would look on this color of bike.

Most pcoaters have samples of all their colors, you may or may not get a close match. Best to take the bike or a panel in and see what they can do. They also will have several catalogs with color patches if they don't have your color on hand. I had the frame, tank and fenders coated 12 yrs ago and they have held up very well to my abuse. Good Luck!

That's a hard question because it's a matter of personal taste. In my opinion, even if you could get a good match in color, it would be overkill in color. Personally I like the idea of chrome.
