    I bed to differ on that, Powder coat is easy and effective, but, BUT that dosnt meen it has that great of a durability, Ive had alot of powder coating done, and have only been mildly impressed, it still chips and scratches, no differnt than anyhting else i have had, ZI have epoxy painted manny things, wheels frame, motors and they have all stayed near perfect, its a personal preference, Powder coat is nice becouse its easy, you just take it somewhere and then pickit up, Epoxy isn't you must get the paint, mix it correctly then apply it (spray gun), then let addiquate dry time before assy, THis is not easier, its not hard for me as I custom paint cars, but for the average Joe, or someone who dosnt know how to spray it sucks,

    and as for my R all the plastic is going to be black/ black tank/black seat

    oh and the epoxy I'm talking about is Sikkens epoxy, not wallmart spray can epoxy

    I have to go with Sykolincoln on this one, Epoxy is very strong stuff.

    I believe gold would look great as long as you change the seat cover and shock covers to black. Black gold and red would look damn nice!
