It's held up every bit as well as I expected Duracoat to hold up. I had a few nicks and scraches (mostly from crashing on the bike about 2 months ago) The only pic I have is from the day following the paint, Photobucket is down for maintenance and I can't get to any of the newer pics.



If you have access to a basic HVLP sprayer, it's really straightforward, and relatively inexpensive. I think with all materials involved, including stripper, degreaser, etc, it was under $80.
