Powder Coat
I own a 2008 FLHX that is denium blue. I love the flat paint look, but I hate the chrome. \\; I'm looking into getting everything that is chrome powdercoated (well eventually) a flat black. \\; Does anyone have any experience with powdercoat of this magnitude? Suggestions for things to consider before seeking someone to do this for me? \\;

RE: Powder Coat
Just make sure you plug any holes that you have to put screws/bolts back into, as they tend to shrink when filled with powder coating. \\; Don't ask how I know..

Powder coat everything. \\; I powdered my softy (seen in sig pics) and I already started on my '08 Road Glide. \\; I'm going gloss black though.  \\;

RE: Powder Coat
Time comsuming job. Your going to have to get all the chrome sand blasted so the powder coat has something good to grip onto when baked. I believe the powder coat will be a little thicker then the chrome, so watch your fits.
