I've decided to put off getting a new frame for awhile, and instead I will get my present frame powder coated this spring.

As I thought about the color, and my wheels and other components, I started liking the idea of getting the crank powder coated the same color as the frame.

I talked to the powder coating people and they said they powder coat cranks all the time.

Well, this evening I got to thinking about the chain ring too.

I'll call them tomorrow and ask about it, but, really, they only know whether or not they can do it, and not how it might affect the function of the drive train.

So, tonight, I ask the forum if anyone knows of a downside to powder coating the chain ring.

Has anyone done it?
