Tony,

Sorry I meant the graphics surrounding the handlebar switchgear, I am not sure whether to powder coat the 'block' or paint them.

I may try and paint them first to see how they turn out, if not good, I will PC.

Across The Pond, over here in the great Republic of Tejas, a rattle can of Satin Black -neither flat nor gloss- brought my R100S's switch bodies to as-new looking.

Personally, with operating three Airheads for many years, I know what all the switch gear does. I'm also guilty of removing any and all of those annoying "safety" stickers. It's Texas. Call me a rebel.

Monte, it may yet come to that...

All I can do is try and see what happens!
