powder coating is baked on and is much harder than paint, however it doesnt make it chip resistant, its resistant to most chemicals though, where as paint isnt,
its down to budget and preference!

Re: powdercoating?
i thought that when i bought mine 2 months ago, but when one problems solved it wont come back. however it wont prevent others tbh, i spend more time working on the bike than riding it and i kinda like it that way creates a bond i think that will reward in the long run.marcus57 wrote:haha i didnt look right when i wrote it . the bike is turning into a nightmare. one thing after another.

Re: powdercoating?
I've searched around my area for the cost of powdercoating and the cheapest I got was £35 each including blasting. If your wheels are already prep'd just for powder coating then its a bit less.
