4stroker Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Im gonna do a ground up rebuild of my banshee for next year, and am just tossing some ideas around in my head. i want every little thing on the bike looking like new (or better!). i am gonna PC the main chassis a-arms and swinger etc.. but what finish should i use on all the little parts? eg brake rotor hub sprocket carrier engine mounts wheel hubs spindles misc brackets etc... should I: zinc plate jet-hot coat chrome powder coat the bike is a flat-track/speedway race bike, so its gonna get speedway mud caked on it most weekends. therefore i want a coating that will look good for a long time and not require much maintanence. i also want some bling tho, so i guess im looking for the best compromise! thanks, mark.

ban99 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 They make a powder chrome that would look good and hold up. Quote
