Gotta love pwder coating! I ended up buying my own set-up to do my own, since it's freakin' expensive around here! I just did some parts for a guy for $$, too.
Your bike will be bitchin' with all that black on it.

did you strip the chrome from the parts first, or did you let them handle everything?
I'm getting ready to coat some of my parts, but was wondering if you should do the cleanup yourself or not?

I just handed all my parts over as is...Most Powdercoaters and chromers prefer to do all the prep work themselves.
