Powder coating parts on a dirt bike is an easy way to make it look like crap.

I have owned a small powder coating business for 15 years. I never powder coat my frames. like many have said it looks great at first...…


Another think to consider is that the chemical resistance of modern powders still isnt as good as paint. Some brake fluid or carb cleaner will most likely damage the surface of the powder.

If you’re open to other options, getting it hard anodized (type III anodizing) is a very durable finish if your looking for a black finish. I had both my frame and swingarm done and it held up great to roost, rocks, etc.
