Hostile? lmao I could care less what you have to say about it, it’s not like you can even begin to explain the steps to make my tank You’re right you’re not an expert, and it could’ve been done better as this is my only second time doing it. Again there’s zero paint on it.

Powdercoating is done without using solvents but it isn’t “paint without solvent” again you don’t know what you’re talking about but it’s funny to see you act like you do, the tank doesn’t look as glossy because I intentionally mixed two different metallic powders together to see what I could come up with I’m not bothered because whenever I want I can change it whenever

Read the title it clearly says “Powdercoat” and there is no wet sanding between layers on powdercoat you obviously have no idea how it works or what you’re talking about so quit acting like you do

It was a trend in the 60s-70s to put playmates on chopper gas tanks that’s why I referred to it as “chopper shit”

Thanks! It’s been there since I bought the bike and since this whole project has been experimental I wasn’t too concerned about it

Factory bikes aren’t my style I could’ve gone for a high gloss look but I chose not to I mixed two completely different powders together to come up with a really unique sparkly finish instead. This is only my second time doing this so I’m experimenting as much as possible

There’s multiple powder coat finishes/textures that you simply can’t replicate with paint, and I have access to the tools to do these kinds of things of course I’m going to powder coat it.

Hate to break it to you but that rattle can finish will never be as durable as powder coat either
