i would say if ur gunna to a complete tear down, then to just powder coat everything.

Mabey he doesn't have the money to get everything powdercoated. I painted the frame and some other stuff on my 250r, and I got all the suplies free from the shop, shure it wont be as strong as powdercoat, but it's been preped right, and will last. It won't last as long as powerdercost, but you can't argue with free, or cheap paint. And the prep work is the most important part if your gonna paint it.

O and I think that your white frame and red a arms and swingarm will look good. But I think the top a arm should be black or white. just my .02 cents
