Default Powder coating

Looking down the road to next winter and I am thinking about changing the colour of my Dyna. Has any one powdercoated thier tins? How do you feel about the results? I can powder coat myself and have a bud that has shot paint for 40 years so was looking at the options.

You need to talk to JRK in the Dyna section.

Have seen powder on the sheet metal many times.
It looks like "orange peel".
Spray it.
