    I powder coated my frame with wet look black powder and it came out very nice. My guy did a cure bake that removes the orange peel. But i did paint the engine trans and drive line and a few accessories. I painted with Dupont Centari AE Pitch Black.and used the mid temp AE reducer and the catalyst was super wet look catalyst. It was a perfect match for my frame and very shiny. Be sure and use an etching primer with the frame if u paint it. The Dupont would be a great choice for the frame if u dont PC.
