Probably wouldn’t want to powdercoat front chrome...since powder coating requires literally baking it onto the pieces...& likely melting them.
But you could certainly paint or vinyl-wrap those pieces...
Agree... thought if that after the fact .. whatever was used looks good!!!
Great shot with the D750. Which lens were you using? I currently have the same camera and in the search for a prime lens. Lots to choose from but leaning towards the 35mm. First world problems; build the cruiser or new camera lens...
It might be plastidip. I did that to my front tacoma grill. Looked a lot better!
It's the Nikon 28-300mm VR. Prime lenses are better, but when I travel I tend to just carry one lens and live with the compromises it brings so that I don't need to lug 10# of additional gear with me or deal with swapping primes.

On the plus side, Adobe Lightroom has lens correction in it, so I can correct for most of the non-linear pincushioning when post-processing. Not as critical on a photo of the night sky of course (unless you're an anal-retentive astronomer who needs the starts to be in their perfect locations in the sky)
@Crab Sack btw if I was going to buy one prime lens I'd probably get the classic nikon 50/f1.8 since it's about $100 and is really good. If you take portraits get the 85mm prime. Other than that I'd personally look for the widest angle prime I could find, but that's me.
I used to have a Sigma 10-20mm zoom on my Nikon D70 and I really loved it for landscapes, effectively shooting at 15mm - nearly as good as the nikon 12-24 but half the cost and very slightly wider, though one stop slower. I had the sigma 30/1.4 and a 70-200 nikon zoom. With 3 impatient kids and carrying their crap around i just don't use primes much anymore.

A few photos of wheeling over the weekend with CLCC
Ninja Cruiser playing in Buena Vista. First time in snow.
Explored a local lake and some backroads yesterday. The FSR going past this lake is about 100km long (with many, many off-shoots) and was cleared, packed snow everywhere except for a 3-4km stretch that had about a foot of fresh snow on it (and tracks from trucks going through). No problems anywhere for the LX.
+points for perfect fitment.
I rarely see wheels that have such perfect offset (et40) and fitment for the 200-series platform. Perfect for beefy 305 tires. Doesn't hurt that she looks great as well.
Didn't know that the Toyota 200 could be had with AHC in Norway.
first time off-roading with some buddies. all stock except the jaos rims with K02's
