[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 133040, member: 3426"] Although I do some powder coating, I haven’t spent any time delving into matching colours. There are lots of different shades available now, so someone who is good at it could probably get “reasonably“ close? You can also wet sand and buff the powder coating to improve the finish, but doubt you could get it to the point where it was indistinguishable from the paint next to it. My Comet frame, tank, and seat cowl are all painted with black epoxy, but the belly pan is black powder coat in hopes of slowing down the gravel rash from the front tire. Far enough away from the paint that you can’t tell... not that it matters at all. The ocular trauma caused by all the Japanese, German, and Italian parts will probably prevent anyone from noticing the difference. [/QUOTE]
