Is the frame ok? The early ones were prone to crack around the headstock.

From my admittedly limited experience of powder coating I would paint the frame rather than powder coating it. Powder is too soft and scratches quite easily and it is not readily repairable.

Hows your recovery going Rob. I dont think any more elephants missing. Just some better parts. I have a clutch reservoir to swap out as is later one on it. Had a radius on early one.

The main problem with powder coating Ducati frames is matching the original colour. Any thing powder ciatec gold tends to look brown.

The main problem with powder coating frames is that you can’t match the original colour.

The rear mudguard you show is slightly different from the ‘93 and early ‘94 ones. The web/fin connecting the indicator mounts wasn’t there.

Isn't that what I just said? Plain colours like black or white and even metallic now are ok but the original colour bronze/gold colour cannot be reproduced in powder coat afaik. If someobody knows different please enlighten us.

Matching the colour is possible, I work with colour matched Powder coating in the Aviation industry a lot.
But, somebody needs to spend the development time and cost with a powder manufacturer matching it. Obviously powder cannot be colour matched at the coaters by mixing, and has to be matched at the powder manufacturer first. What the development cost for this is I don't know as the special colours we use are developed by airlines and we're given permission to buy them. I'd imagine you are looking at @£2-£5k for development, then the low volume production powders are @£75 - £100/kg with an MOQ of 25 or 50Kgs. Nasher.

I will ask my contact at Trimite what the potential cost would be, but he's likely to want permission from Ducati before doing the work.

My contact has confirmed a 50Kg MOQ on colour matched metalics.
I've sent him a couple of images of bits of my M900 frame and he'll let me know ASAP what the likely cost of colour matching and cost/Kg would be. Nasher
