After taking a closer look, I should have sent out the fork caps to get coated also, up against the gas caps they don't look right. Instead of disassembling the front end again, I found a nice set of gloss black caps that will look great, I'll coat the stem bolt washer when I send out a few small item I didn't catch initially.
Siblings..
Damn, just stumbled across this thread. Thank-you for the pics and bringing us along on your build.
Hello,
Finally, I do have an update.
Powder coater sent me this picture yesterday, i should see the wheels today.
They came out even better then I imagined.
Ceramic Polished, Black Chrome Base, Gloss black Pockets

Failed............
Paint looks great, gloss black looks great, chrome looks great and the wheels look great, but all together, not so much...
Everything was going great until I gave the coater free reign with the wheels, well although they came out great, they are not what I originally had in mind. So, back on the lift it goes. First, everything chrome turns black, and if need be, the paint may change too. All because of a slight change in the plans. I’m open for suggestions guys, how does it look? what could look better? Thanks in advance....Rich
