Hey guys.
With your suggestions, I got it that i should paint my frame.I dont really have alot of money at the time, so i think ill jsut paint them instead of getting them powder coated.I think Ill do my A-arms first,and just work from there.Should i get a lighter red for the whole thing, or a draker red? I was planing on putting a coouple of layers of that red color, and then a clear coat to make it shiny.Id have to get some high heat paint though.Any other ideas to help me out?

I would recommend waiting til you have enough money to get the parts powder coated. The time and labor to take everything off, prep them, and paint them with a paint that "may" chip off easily seems like a lot.

As for color..... That is always a personal preferance..... Me, Honda Red!!

Question: Why would you need a "high heat" paint?

Because if its near the engine it might burn.Tried that on one of my old go carts before :)
