Re: powder coating
Ditto to Zunspec4, along with the engine mounting plates, and especially the battery box !

Re: powder coating
Agreed the only black bits I would wet paint are ones that have corroded and need plenty of primer to fill in the pits.

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: powder coating
You will also get to choose the gloss level.
The powder coater for our GT250 cafe project gave us the option in 20% increments, ranging from flat black to really glossy black.
I don't know what gloss level would correspond to the original Suzuki black frame paint.
Maybe another forum member knows.

Re: powder coating
interesting..that didn't occur to me that the gloss level could be chosen....I like the high gloss level look for a frame...looks like it might be easier to keep clean as well.......
