I have used a local company for powder coating Lime Green Kawasaki rims and they did a great job, they told me they can do the black over chrome "Yes, as long as the chrome is not peeling or popping we can help you. We do a lots of chrome to gloss black Harley parts here on a weekly basis." So I asked to see some parts when they have them,

Question, @ how much less is the Powder Coat vs New parts when you did it?

Are the blacked out parts on a streetglide special painted or powder coated?

It’s been a while since I had it done, but if memory serves, it was less than half the cost than to buy the HD blacked out front end.

My SGS is powder coated for most of the black parts.

Just for black fork sliders, from HD they run about $465 looking at their website. I paid $60 to have both of mine powdercoated. Got 15k on them and they still look like the day they were done.
