Well, I am about to tear my 200x down to have the frame powder coated...the paint just didn't hold up. Anyway, while I had it apart, i have to change the countershaft is the main reason, I thought I would have the case powder coated, or something. it really looks like sh!#. Has anyone ever done this? If not powder coating, what should I use to make it nice and shiny black again...?

I thought about polishing it, as I have dome some brake calipers and what not...

Anyway, I think I just want to do a flat black...I think red would be too much red, although I have contemplated the chrome powder coating too....

The guy who just did my frame said he could do anything that could withstand the 400 degree oven. The chrome powder looks good but I was told the it has to have a clear powder too so, there may be an extra charge. I was thinking about polishing the entire engine on my 200x.
