    That would be Powder Surfaces dude.

    as opposed to Powder Coating Services in Seaview.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    As i used to do this as a job i can say that whoever you get to do the job , make sure they have a good pre-treatment system .

    There is a differant system for alloy and steel and the wet spray etch priming is nothing short of garbage.

    Zinc Phosphate is good for alloy and Iron Phosphate is good for steel. It gives the powder a good etch key factor and that makes it last better. Also ensure a polyester powder is used as they are U.V. stable and will deal with the high speed impacts a bike part gets better than other types like Acryllic powders.

    Any questions , PM me.

    Cheers Paul.
