Was going to get it powder coated, but then I couldnt match the color so I think i will have to get it painted. How does paint hold up on the aluminum x1 tail? Just dont wanna spend all this money for paint and it be useless. THANKS

What color?

Nuke blue?

Call Classic Coatings, they have it... no one else(they did the Buell powder)

no. I need a pearl white with a red double stripe down the very end of the tail...the whites will not match at all.

You're probably not going to find a good match for a pearl white. But I don't know why painted would be a problem. My Land Rover has an aluminium body. The paint looks almost as new after 10 years of abuse.

Sounds neat, I polished mine out. Easy enough to do but then it wouldnt be a one off like your's. Strip it well and sand well. Get it smooth with some wet paper.
