I second that on the whole bike. I hate cleaning anything, especially bikes. With the denim, it's a few squirts, a few wipes and the whole thing is done in about 5 minutes.

I powder coated some stuff flat black on my buds gloss black bike. I do things a little differn't though, I stencil powder and can do custom lettering and designs. Well I used to. I got burnt out on it and sold all my equipment. I didn't get pictures of everything but you'll notice his fork legs are flat and gloss with flames in them. His derby cover is flat black and flat white.

His fuel door has a design with his mancave bar logo in it. His wheels are done like these but the orange in his if flat black the rest is gloss.

His horn and air cleaner cover were also done flat as well as his heat shields. The bike really did turn out nice. I guess I should've taken some pictures of it finished and together but I never did. Maybe i'll get him to send me some.

Thanks. People also think that these results can be done with an Eastwood or Harbor Freight gun lol. They don't realize that you'll drop 15K before you even think about getting serious.
