It is a PacBay G26M-S seat, powdercoated. On the PacBay seats I found that I can powdercoat all the components on their seats so far, while on Fuji seats the nut is a different material that will deform and melt down at powdercoat curing temperatures. The aluminum hosel and buttcap are also powdercoated.

That's some wild stuff. I had no idea that powder coat came in so many colors.

I have some parts on my Harley coated (black, of course! ) and while they had quite a few sample colors I don't recall seeing anything NEAR that bright!

I have 2 coolers full of different powdercoat colors. You name it, it is out there. And beyond colors you also have textures, veining, holographic flakes, metallics, and dormant colors ,,,, for example. And then different formulations for different usages too.

I can redo some of your hog parts in glitter hot pink if you like

Yeah, that's the nice thing about having them really unique. I don't even have to label them. It is memorable to all and they know whose it is. That's what custom is all about.
I've had a few people after me to do bright rods for them now. I dunno,,,, hobby and R&D is fun, but being an assembly line doesn't sound so fun. Ghostwrapping perhaps?
