This is going to be real novice question but when you guys are talking about powder coating or paint, I guess you are talking about the product rather than the application method?

Presumably both use some sort of spray gun? Do some people actually paint their bikes layer by layer in one colour with a brush of some sort?)

(keithyt imagines applying the red E.T. fade effect by flicking with a little paint brush  :crazy2: JOKE!)

It's just weird he thought he could powder that finish  :crazy2:  When I spoke to Dan he said paint is the only way to go. He's about to do one for me so after all my nagging Steve I'm finally giving up and doing one myself  :D

They're two different processes and materials and IMO have a noticeable difference to the finish. Also, if you don't go to the right powder coater you can end up with too thick a coat and welds etc loose definition almost as if they have been dipped in molten plastic or wax.

SuperBikeDan is the authority on this, certainly not me.  He is to powder coat what Neil Armstrong is to space flight.

KeithyT:
Cheers Chris and don't worry, SBDs reputation is legendary across all the OS BMX sites I frequent    :daumenhoch:
