paint and powder
has anyone painted or powdercoated their handlebar switch housing? I am thinking of going the same white as my bike andd want to know if paint or powder coat stands up. Thanks
Powder coat will stand up to abuse for a long time. At least a couple years. If you go gloss it isn't a problem, matte tends to get shinny over time.
Either way though, PC and paint are softer than chrome and can scratch easier. But normal use won't hurt them.

All right - dumb question. What's the difference between paint and powder coat? Was always curious about this. Thanks.
Paint is simply a fine mist of pigment and generally doesn't last as long and is not as durable.
Both can chip and paint is easier to repair however. And paint is still used because it allows the use of graphics and the sort.
I'm sure google might have a better answer but that's what I know about it.
