Black Cases would look nice Those Cylinders/Heads make me sick, sick to me pants bye. Sweet!! I like Black cases too. Gold is nice, as accents, too but too much isn't always good IMO unless your from "the city"

So I'm probably just too lazy to read the whole post, but are you using a home powdercoating kit or farming it out? What is the base, epoxy, urethane, polyester etc? Do you know what you are getting for a dry film thickness? Is it applied over a primer or just etched or blast profiled steel? What is the inital cost and the powder price?

What is the inital cost and the powder price? home powder coating anything that will fit into a household over (sent the frame out) Urethane eyeballing film thickness with fair success (the mill gauge seems pretty iffy to me) I profile with glass beads mostly and use a powder primer when necessary which isn't often but it's nice to have for that odd time you need it. Powder is cheap .... like $17 a pound for the gold I'm using, by the time I am done (have 1 wheel left to shoot and some tiny bits) I will probably hve 1/4 lb left. You seem to have done your home work, I'd recommend purchasing a unit if you do much restoration rebuild, I figure mine paid for itself on this build alone.

Yes, lots of homework. I am a coatings and linings contractor and do coatings inspecton as well. Where did you get the kit and who made it? Is it friendly to use? What was the purchace price? I assume it is a flocking gun or is it electrostatic? The finish on the barrels isn't the same kit is it? Urethane resins don't usually take that kind of heat. Not affordable ones anyway! Good call on the powdercoating choice, urethanes resist uv degradation very well and podercoating is one of the best ways to get an even DFT on shapes like complex curves and sharp edges. Solvent borne coatings develop a surface tension and pull back and thin out at edges, powdercoats are 100% solids and don't thin down. Don't screw it up though, they are hell to remove, even with our big blasters, 475 cfm @ 100 psi still has to chew at a urethane powdercoat for a bit. Oh yeah nice bike too, by the way.
