Paint or Powder coat?

[Mr Crudley]

They're matte black with a few bare metal rub marks, and the stickers are all chewed up. While there are some marks on the frame, they don't stand out anywhere near as much. Probably change it up and make them glossy to match the rest of the bike.

When I got the 5010 Invisiframe then I also got it for the Pike forks. They were already a bit beat up but not that bad overall. It was more a 'why not' decision other than great planning.

I touched up the damaged paint and skinned it. Came up better but there is no hiding that it is preloved One of those YMMV situations but it easy enough to do and a gloss finish does help to hide the rough bits. I didn't have high expectations and bit better was a win.
