I had my brackets for my new clear view windshield powder coated, I think it looks more retro. I like the look better, will post again when I find time to install it. Opinions?

Waiting on the back rest and mounts to come and am going to have those powder coated too, as I can see in your picture, we think alike. post picks when your are done as will I.
 
I've always liked replacing chrome with powder coating and that looks good.

I've learned though that it must be done right. I had some done and the preparation was apparently very flawed, with the coater just scuffing up the chrome a bit.

A good friend of mine is a retired nuc welder, a member of our local Saint's Car Club, and an excellent painter/powder coater. He bead blasted some chrome bits for me and they looked like flat aluminum when he was finished.

We used to have a good local chrome shop and he'd charge a minimum to throw one's chrome bits into the vat for about 30 minutes to remove the chrome before powder coating.
 
I have thought about black chrome. Dad use to work at a chrome plating place in the 60's. He did some black chrome on an old Colt 38... Pretty sharp
 
One of the local shops put all my parts in a tumbler and stripped the chrome off 100% charged me a lunch at the cafe across the street. Price for the powder coating still to come. If you get a chance look up a pic of " sonny " bike he has his back rack black, really looks nice.

That's next.
