Stuff that can be powder coated
Powder coating is not that new. It's just that with all the custom garage shows on television, the public is becoming more familiar with all the slick stuff that can be done with it. The West Coast Chopper guys have done a lot to educate the public to all the ways they can personalize a bike building project. The drawback is that they don't really give step by step instructions on how a novice or an amateur would go about doing a powder coat paint project. If you want a good bit of aluminum or iron done, it would be a great idea to take the time to learn to do it yourself. Powder coat paint if done by professionals can be expensive.
If you just don't have the time to spare, there are lots of qualified companies that will do the job for you according to your specs. But I hope I'm convincing you to try your hand at it at least one time. So, get ready to break out the powder coat paint chart and pick out your favorite from the rainbow of colors out there! That's right, you don't have to do everything in black wrinkle powder paint, you can finish your stuff as slick as you want!
Here's a partial list of some of the stuff that can be powder coated:
Wheels and Rims
Vehicle Bumpers
Various pieces of trim
Engine Parts such as Valve Covers
