Held, up? What does that mean, and who did it. The stuff is bullet proof
compared to paint. Does he mean UV light or depth of color? On the
discovery channel Orange County Choppers uses it for 50 to 150 thousand
dollar custom bikes, so I wonder how they think it holds up?

Rudy,
I asked a fella I know in CA that restores cars for a
living if he uses powder coating. His response was along
the lines, "we have but did not like the way it held up".
He prefered Dupont Emron. I was going to powder coat my
GT6 until he said that.
His present project has a standing offer of one million
dollars when it is finished. So I'm going to take his
word for it.
