It's one of the most durable finishes available so there will be no problems as long as it's done by a good company.

As to the cost, what are you getting coated?

I got my RVF wheels powder coated white. £40 a wheel.

Lovely deep finish, squeeky clean after a polish. Stones just bounced off. Much better than paint.

I got my frame, forks legs, clip ons, swing arm and sub frame done for £200. In total it come to £260 but that was for them picking the bits up and returning them....

I went for a black glossy finish but like has already been said, you can get any colour you like... Triple S (the place i got mine done) will even do metallic powder coating which would look great....

Check out the pics.....

Pretty much, including colour matched options too. Check out https://www.triple-s.co.uk/ for an idea.
