Hey Dragonman, I am going to be doing the same thing this fall/winter when things slow down in the riding season. Can you tell e-mail me or link me to another place where I can see your pics. For some reason I cant view there here.

black epoxy paint (rustolium appliance paint) got this little tip from ED... it would blow your mind how tuff this paint is, and how much it matches my high gloss black powder coating... you can get it anywhere you can buy rattle cans, it has a picture of a stove and fridge on the can... just be careful, they are not joking when they tell you that you have 1/2 hour to spary then you have to wait a week to re coat... I am building a low budget bobber right now and instead of tearing it all down and sticking it in the oven i am doing the frame in the black of this paint, the wheels in the white, and the spokes and center hub of the rims in rino liner, to allow for flex... the rest of the bike i am shooting the real way... but never the less, this stuff is awesome! i have 6 cans of each color in the shop right now, no lie
