A mate of mine is having his trike handlebars coated. He's been up there and had a look and as he says, its f'n brilliant. The only drawback is sometime it doesn't quite take right and needs stripping again. They are just up the road from me, so I may go and have a look soon.

Some of the guys off Brit Chopper use them. Only heard good stuff about them. I too would like to see the results.
