Matt:
I spent around $150 for powdercoating on my each of my Ambos, this
included the frame and 26 pieces, which included fork covers and legs
(mask the inside where the axle goes through and the threads on top),
headlight shell, battery tray, etc. I handed everything over stripped,
sandblasted and ready to go. You do have to go over with the guy who
does it what you want masked, like threads and threaded holes and such.
You'll still have to remove it from places on the frame, battery tray,
headlight shell, and rear fender to make sure that you have a good
electrical ground throughout your system.
On my second Ambo, I had them go over the black with clear
powdercoat; it gave it a shinier finish and the black was blacker,
rather than having greyish overtones. The drawback was that it was a bit
thicker.
