Hey Pappy,

Do you do sponsorships? PM me with some info and thanks a lot.

[Pappy]

i sponsor several riders, local and pro.

i try to help everyone out by pricing alot of stuff to where it just covers my cost so that way they get stuff done at a great price.

[m250r]

so you wouldnt sponsor someone like me in NJ?

[Pappy]

the only people i fully sponsor are usually pro riders. i help out anyone i can but i do this as a hobby and cant afford to work for free:(

i usually cut the prices so close that any further discounts would have me losing money and i have enough hobbies that i lose money on:D

[m250r]

so its more of a support thing?

[Pappy]

yeah i geuss you could say that.

the pro riders and shops i deal with work with me so i help them out. the pro riders i do work for dont expect free stuff but its self gratifying when i see them win or place well knowing my work is on thier quad.

ive also on occasion done parts for average joe's that just needed help. i just enjoy doing this type of work and help whoever i can. some people have no access to anyone or anyplace that coats so im the easiest option. ive suggested many times to seek a local shop because they are constantly looking for a fairly cheap way of advertising thier work.

[m250r]

Yeah i guess ur right its just that everyone wants to go to u since they know that if they send something to you that it will come back in excellent condition. People are afraid of seeing a result from a local shop that is piss-poor.

If you were to support someone how much would it cost to powdercoat the frame/subframe? I would definitely be interested its just up to you and i just curious because i know you do good work. My frame is starting to look really bad and I'm kinda on a tight budget for the winter.

[Pappy]

frame and sub are $150 to $225 depending on the color.

i am by no means perfect but i do my best:p thanks for the kind words.

yes but i refuse to shoot it. its horrible. when used over a real chrome or billet base its not bad but is too unpredictable to use so i just dont shoot it:p

[m250r]

well i have black plastics so im not sure what color to go with. what would you suggest in your ultimate wisdom:p

[Pappy]

hahah thats another thing i dont do is pick colors. ill gladly speak up if i think a certain color is not suitable but afterall its your quad and you should design it.

i went with gun metal grey with my black fenders. its a neutral color that looks ultra clean but doesnt stand out until you get close to the quad.

i like translucent blue with most color fenders, but if you have a 300ex it just doesnt have the same effect on square tubing.and if you race alot, you will want to pick a color that can easily be touched up especially if you crack a frame or something.

pick your favorite colors and get a scheme in your head and run with it!

[m250r]

well what if i did like a reddish color? do you have any pics of red with black flecks in it? what are some of teh types of reds you have? how much would the price be?

[Pappy]

i use mainly 1 red for frames. its red..lol like a firetruck red. its a decent choice and would be $150

[m250r]

how about a blue?

[Pappy]

my personal prefernce is a darker blue. royal blue to be exact. even metalic blue (very dark)

[m250r]

can i get a pic of that and maybe a price?

[m250r]

and what about a greenish color? maybe like lime green? can i get pics of that too? Thanks

[m250r]

which do you think would look better?

[MooseRacing]

Pappy did my KX frame in Gunmetal and all I can say is....Sweet!

I do not think you can find anyone to do it any better, especially at his very reasonable prices!

[m250r]

Pappy let me know if you have these colors. Thanks

[Pappy]

i have all kinds of colors bud, i just dont have pics of all of them.

[m250r]

have you done a lime green frame? how do you think it will look with black plastics?
