ano or powder coat?

[Paint Bulley]

what do you like more?

I can't really tell much difference (from looking at pictures) other than price. powder coating being cheaper.

Anno if you want looks, it's nice and shiny. Powder coat is much tougher though. Annos for fades, splash, solids, powder seems better for graphic.

You can get a lot of unique and stylish designs done by Eric there at SinCustoms. Or solid, splash, polkadotted.... or whatever you want.

And with that, it's done very professionally, so you will get a smooth and shiny powdercoat job that is more durable that annodizing.

Plus, it's only a FRACTION of the cost.

It has nowhere near the shine though. powdercoat is naturally pretty dull. Alot of people try to counteract this by putting clearcoat over it, but it looks like hell

Yeah... and anodizing is really shiny. powercoat is like, powder... how can it be really shiny?? its powder

I bet "paintball snipers" like the powercoating..anti shine coat.. sounds good for them

[Mephistopheles]

When done in a certain style of one's chosing, the powdercoat with a clear coat over it will indeed be shiny and smooth. If you don't want it to look like powder, then it won't. If you do, they can make it look so.

Ok, I'll just e-mail eric and have him give me a professional description of the process and side-by-side shine comparison.

I'd go with powder coating. More durable, costs less. If you don't think it looks good, IT DOES. Take a looksee
