I'm Getting Tired Of Polishing More Than Riding. Anybody Know How Well Powder Coating Holds Up In The Real World?

Powder coat is very durable , it can chip if a rock hits it. It is still paint albeit very tough paint.

my last ride was mostly black powercoat , way easy to keep looking nice , my new bike has literally every piece of chrome in the catalog and while it's a real beauty , it takes a very long time to clean and polish .
