ask Chris Waters, there are many guys on here that do powdercoating. I've seen some of the work chris has done, there are pics on here, its VERY nice! That powdercoat would prolly cost a good bit. I am prolly wrong but, I think you have to powdercoat the frame red, the put a clear coat over it with blue speckles in the clear coat. But really, don't take my word on that!
A powdercoated frame can look really nice, or really bad (person at fault). Make sure those blue speckles wont clashe with your plastic and all the other colors on your quad.

it cost me $225 plus shipping.
deff. talk to chris waters he does great work
yup it sure is an old lt. frame....its a 92
(since any lt. is "old" cause they stopped making them in 92 which wouldnt be able to make then "old")
its like saying a banshee frame (which are still made) being "old"
:rolleyes:

i don't really like red n black either.
all black with lots-0-chrome would be tight
what about black plastic (shows all scratche's) with a neon green frame. or a hot pink frame. something wild. polish ur motor, chrome swingarm and a-arms'. if you do the neo-green frame, get some sticker's that are just line's and put em' on the plastic. just little neo-green stripe's here and there.
a dark blue with speckels would be ahight.

schells bike (400xx) is YZ blue frame and red plastic i thought that looked pretty cool. yea now that i think about it the all black would be kinda dull. i know someone that does it all i just talked to them tonight they said i could get it done for 200 bucks that is sand blasting and powder coating i thought that was a pretty good deal. but that is only the frame not the a-arms and swing arm.
