I am planning on PCing my lower a arms, my muffler, and the rings of my rear beadlocks. How many lbs would that probably take?

Also.... Can you powdercoat the muffler with any kind of stuff? Or does it have to be a special high temp kind?

I am lookin into using this color for my quad

A pound would probly be plenty. As long as your muffler is packed properly I would think it would be ok.

The stock cdale steering stems are already black. My side cases are black already too so I doubt I powdercoat those. I might if I think it will really make a difference but it probably wont.

I found this clear coat that has some sparkles in it.. im not sure if i should get regular clear coat or this sparkly kind.. id like my pink stuff to look sparkly and stuff but i know the pink does have sparkles in it already..i dont know if itll be too much if i got this clear coat.

the pic looks like translucant rasberry shot over polished aluminum.

1 pound would be cutting it close, 2 would be safer

on a dale, IMO its best for a solid color, they run a bit warmer then other quads and translucents will darken on the can.
