Playing around with different clears over a satin bronze today, in terms of the process, things are getting better! Starting to see better results. Getting close to choosing a color scheme for the bike so I can get on with the build!

A few more powdercoat experiments this weekend. Tried the chrome version, came out great and I think this will be a viable option for some of the bike parts. Next I wanted to try a rim. It came out stunning but it has a few finish buggers where it sat on the oven racks. I won't be able to fit the 19" mags in the oven anyways. It really made me realize that I need to stick with smaller parts as my shop now looks like strip club with a layer of glitter on everything....

Guy I used to work with in the Air Force when I was stationed up in Alaska used to call me up and ask me if I wanted to go out "Christmas Shopping" with him.
That was his code words to get past our wives for "Lets go visit the local strip clubs tonight!"...which Anchorage was pretty world renowned for at the time.
