[QUOTE="PigIron, post: 80154, member: 5306"] My impression is that powder coat still carries an undeserved reputation of orange peel being an unavoidable fact of life. This is obviously no longer a a given. Some say that PC can not be wet sanded, stripped or repaired either but obviously wet sanding can be accomplished and the finish can be mechanically removed with sand or bead blasting. As I understand it repairs do involve stripping and repeating the application, but for my money the benefits now seem to outweigh the negatives and percieved or outdated shortcomings of powder coat. I will admit that a world class painter can likely still get better results and an unlimited color pallette for show quality work, but I don't know anyone with a show bike. Everyone I've met rides them and the durability and cost of PC makes it right for me. 48 hrs after Gary's first post, my K0 was broken down and boxed up. As soon as I get my chain guard and shocks on Monday, it's heading down to TX to be treated to the same CRR treatment. [/QUOTE]
