Default Powder Coat

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

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.&nbsp\\; Don't ask how I know..

Again, Leo, when are you going to stop showing off.&nbsp\\; Oh, I guess if my bike looked that good, I'd show it off too.&nbsp\\; Sweet ride.

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.
