[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1158452, member: 434"] [B]Black is the New Yellow[/B] I fired up the Harbor Freight powdercoater over the weekend and started adding a few farkles judiciously to the new ride. I had an uncolored WynPro bracket that was a little loose and rattling. After cleaning up I shot two coats of black, a layer of gloss clear powder, and put some JB weld on the bottom to keep it from moving around. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/images/2014fjr1300es_standfoot.JPG[/IMG] I've long had a set of Top Gun bar ends I've always liked. They started life as black, they spent a few years as yellow, but coated them back to black. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/images/2014fjr1300es_barends.JPG[/IMG] And I have a set of Wild Bill brackets that also spent time as yellow, but now black. The pegs were black to begin with courtesy of a table of cheap stuff at Auburn's last Fall. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/images/2014fjr1300es_highwaybracket.JPG[/IMG] Next up are plans to powdercoat the clutch and brake levers (carefully masking to cover the business parts).
