Wow...thats pretty much exactly what I've had in mind for quite some time. If you don't mind me askin', roughly how much do you estimate all the powder coating cost you?

I have had problems with local powder coating and will keep you in mind. Exhaust has been ceramic coated inside and out; looks good and fairly durable but it will scratch. I preter the look of anodizing on pieces like front forks, A/C cover, rocker boxes, etc.; looks more "hot rod" to me. There is family owned metal finishing company not to far from me, third generation running it now. Anodizing will not chip as easy as powder coating but it will scratch and does have low to moderate wear resistance but that can be improved with increasing thickness or by applying suitable sealing substances.
