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!)

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.

Jaan, people who powder E.T.s do the whole frame candy red and create the fade using white paint over the top of the powder. That's how FHM reader used to do his and they are very good IMO. Not for the more anal aficionado obviously.
Costa got reamed good and proper by Chip. :bondage: I hear he enjoys that sort of thing...
