The WHAT WHAT!?!  Sweet!  Have to see it soon.  What did you do with the 'ol 620?  

I use Arizona Powder Coat.  Because they're cheap.  I let the fear of adhesion, corrosion, and cracking frames fly in the wind.

"Frames in the wind... powder coated frames in the wiiiiiind."

Awesome IZ, if anyone here deserves a new bike it is you.  To the next 50,000+ miles.

Is powdered milk the same as powdered coffee creamer?  How do they tell the difference between powdered milk and powdered creamer?  Do they take more water out of the creamer than the milk?  I mean... they're both powder.  This is all so confusing.

Are you sure some other "powder from back in the day" hasn't affected your thinking?

When are you planning on doing this D?

+1 on Monster Dave's timing question -- we've got a rusty old early 60s Vespa in the garage that I haven't yet laid a wrench on, but I can think of a number of bits off the top of my head that could use freshening...

Well.... The only advantage to combining parts is if we want things the same color, or if you want me to be the parts taxi.   (I ususally drop off/pick up parts on my lunch break.)  I will have a small handful of parts that I want to do in the near future.  I'll be looking at gloss black in probably about 3 or 4 weeks realistically.  The matte black parts I am ready to go anytime.  I'm flexible.  If you have something that might fit the bill let me know and we'll coordinate. 

Also, if anyone wants to see examples of what kind of finish quality to expect you can see parts on my bike or Pennyrobber's bike that we have had done.

Got that from earlier in the thread; are you still thinking of alu/silver as well?  I'll look the scooter over tonight and see what on there will look good in matte or gloss black.

One thing it will need at some point is a lot of re-chrome work done (if we want to shoot for stock, which isn't necessarily the case) Do they even do that in the U.S. anymore?

oooh, I can pull my top tripple off my CB-1 and get it re-blackened!

hm. I'll have to get the Hawk back up before doing that though.
Can't stand to be without a bike for that long!

I've got a bunch of little things i'm looking to get done....and if they'll be around 10 a piece then i might have to bring some up your way! im thinking.....triples, rearsets, chrome headlight ring, headlight bracket, swingarm....exhaust brackets.....maybe a few more bits.....are wheels considered small?
