I like shiny metal

I'm working on getting mine blacker than an X! Then I'm going after the hog. I don't polish it and it just rusts anyway so no more.

Have done a lot of my chrome for satin black powder..dont know but chrome just seems so old this day and age and iff ime honest ive never been a fan

Ya know, Paul, the old saying against HD way back in my Dad's Indian dealer days (47-53) was, "If it don't go, chrome it!"
I consider my chrome an understatement presenting a "sleeper" while encouraging other bikes to make like a frog and jump on in!

The part is sandblasted down first before powder. I find the finish quite durable...much better than regular paint.

I gottcha. I just gotta make sure they sand blast the parts I need done. We had a local guy powder a roll cage for a Polaris Rzr. He was cheap, 200 bucks, but he did not prep very good. It was a fresh cage, but the paint isn't as durable as it could be. Get what you pay for in our case

Take it to a good machine shop it only cost me $100 to have the backrest parts powder coated.
