The only items that can really benefit from powder coating are the rims and hubs. They'll survive without rusting longer. Everything else is painted with few exceptions. Mirrors and racks tend to be chromed. So unless you're into the the Mod scene, less is more.
As stated earlier, nothing is powdercoated on an original condition vintage scooter.
And it's extremely general to say that everything else is painted. Levers are painted? Floor rails are painted? And (as seen in another thread) selector box covers and kickstart levers are painted?
Get the Tecnica book that corresponds with your scooter. Not everything is exactly correct in those books, but it's closer than you're gonna get asking in a forum such as this.
We love doing stock restorations, and it's for this reason that we're such sticklers about doing them right. Just do a little homework, get your ducks in order and you can have a sweet stock GS on your hands.
