powder coating looks insane compared to spray cans or air compressor paint.

sorry for the late pics didnt have a cam.
I ended up gettin them in a dark gunmetal...im real happy with them they look black at night and in the day when the sun hits them they look much lighter and got a nice shine to them.

...dont really know how to upload pics? so i hope this works they are on my profile

Anyone reckon these would look as good on a black liberty?

And if there's any good places to get it done in Adelaide?

Thanks
