Is the tank and fenders powder coated on a 2005 ridgeback?

I know the frame is powder coated but my buddy said his tank and fenders and oil tank were powder coated also. Bike fell over in parking lot and now have a scratch in tank.

What makes him think it's powder coated. Got any pictures

My 05 ridgeback frame is powder coated but the tank & fenders are not.
I just spent the winter stripping them and repainting.

Wow, sumth'n I have not ever heard here before, so you are saying the frames are powder coated? Didn't know that was possible with candy colors and be able to make it match correctly, just seems like powder coating give a different finish, but what do I know anyways, NOTHING! Haha!

The frames were hit first with Gelcoat I believe. I think they were powdercoated locally as well. I wanna say it was Lorac?One of the painters can prolly shed more insight into the process. Where's Ed?

Yea, and that power coated gel coat is a bitch to sand blast off.
