    Craig, i've seen that one, it looks sharp, if i go billet that's the one. I don't know where you live but you should look locally for someone to powder-coat. I know in the area i live there is several places the powdercoat

    I'm near Fort Lauderdale, and there are a few places locally that I'm aware of. Others have told me to look into a few companies here that do work on yachts etc..

    I have delbt with Max at Sumax before (upstate NY) with various motorcycle parts. They arent the cheapest, but their gloss black really looks wet! and the turn-around is about a week.

    With all the recent hurricane activity here, I havent had a lot of time to research locally, but will look around this week. More then likely I'll go with Sumax & pay a little more, as I know what the end product will look like...

    I'll have pics posted in a few weeks once its done.
