I Have a good friend that has his own powder coat business for many years and he is doing a great job in applying a 2 layer shiny black powder which looks great. Over the last years technology has moved on and you can get very good looking coating which is quite thin compared to 10 years ago.
Saying this anyone of you who ever had the chance [joy] to see one of Tom Barker's BSA's knows what the real job looks like.
He painted all his bikes with a brush in his shed and even the most beautiful restored machines I have seen in shows and museums until today were not able to beat his standard.
In modern times we seem to forget what can be done by craftsmanship and dedication.
