Paint frame with spray on bed-liner??

[Hazzard400]

Anyone ever use spray on bed-liner to paint anything on their quad? My buddy claims itll work fine, but i cant find out if its heat resistent or anything. I'm thinking of painting my frame with it if itll work.

The spray on bed liner material is super on bike parts. I checked out a Harley D. when my truck was being done at Line X and I couldnt believe how good it looked. The guy having it done said he was sick of gas ruining his paint and started with his tank and went from there I guess. It was just really neat and so different from everything else I have seen.

[Hazzard400]

Cool, i think i'm goin to get started on it ove the holiday break. I'm lookin for orange plastics too if anyones sellin.

I think it is a real good idea it will make it look rugged and tuff

[coolex]

dont forget to plug all the parts were u dont want it sprayed cuz u wont be able to take it off nearly as easy as paint its tuff and thick

sounds like a good idea though

[theTman]

and its gonna be a paint gettin a arms and such to line up becuase its thick so your going to have to scrape it off...and if you ever go to take it off, well, have fun with that

There was a guy on z400central that painted his plastics with bed liner also. It looked pretty cool.

I found the picture of it, I think his top front a arms also might be painted with it.

IMO thats pretty fugly

[dirt308]

either way you can't scratch it or brake it so doing a frame with it would be a good idea if it didn't make anything bind.

Josh creamer did it a few years back on his YFZ, it looks good

[trx400exxracer]

I would go for it

[TheFontMaster]

The only problem I have heard of with the spray on bed linner is that since it's so thick that it would hide any cracks that you get in the frame, and you wouldn't know about them to fix them untill something breaks.

[Butters]

yeah i think doing the frame is a good idea. its tuff and durable and that is exactly what you need for a frame.

[Hazzard400]

Well i got it finished over break and it did turn out pretty well, no binding around the a-arms or anything. If i ever get ahold of a digital camera i'll post some pics.

Hazzard400 can you tell me what product you decided to go with? do you do anything special in regards to prep work?
I want to do this to my lt250r but only want to do it once.

[Bradkx]

Can anyone give me any input? I am ready to do this but would like some helpful hints/suggestions before I do.

Thanks,
-Brad

have a friend that works at a Rhino Linings shop and he Rhino lined his a-arms and swingarm....looked pretty good and definitly is durable, all he did was scuff them then spray them. I'm sure the spray can stuff would work fine to, would probably look like the new texture or wrinkle powdercoat that people are doing on a-arms

[skott1576]

im thinkin about doing this how much did it cost you and did you ever get ahold of a digital camera?

[81 clark racing]

skott let me no when you do your frame i want to do my aarms. rember i have a heated basement so winter time working will be niice in the basement.

Apparently weight isn't a factor to some people?

Whether its super durable or not, I don't want that much weight added to my bike.

It's not going to protect from HARD impacts, just scuffs and scratches. I'd rather take my bike down to nothing and powercoat it every year then to add that much weight.

but really how much weight will it really add??? nothing some of the big guys out there can't compensate with by holding off from the big macs.

Sounds like I might have to try this on the ol 426ex.. I'm in the works of getting my 450r frame powdered mirror plack/ rockstar yellow :chinese:

[spearman_929]

i sprayed my front bumper and nerfs with it and it was pretty sweet cuz you can spray black reg paint over it to make it shine. and its easy to touch up, but it will scrach off if ya hit stuff.
