A few PC questions

[hondardr4life]

Ok, here is a picture of a 250r that I am more than likely going to be buying soon. I'm not liking the frame color though, so I would like to know which color of PC matches the 2nd picture I post. And also how expensive it will be. I definetly want red, but I know that there is candy apple red, trans red, and the new sparkle red. So I would just liek to know which one would look best on my R. The whole color scheme I'm planning is red/ white/ black. Let me know what you guys think.

here ya go....

i know you want red, but here is how that frame should have looked:p

[Pappy]

for a pre-coated frame, it would be $250 for a candy color and that includes removal of the existing powdercoated finish.

[hondardr4life]

I take it that was your old 250r. That looks really nice. I'm not sure what color would look the best. Do you think candy apple would look the best?

[Pappy]

its really up to you, both candy red and blue usually make folks smile:p

thats a R i redid for edz250r here on the site. one of my favorite R's!

I'll have some stuff to send you here soon. I would liek to have you gusset it because it goign to have a lot of MX races put on it, but I just cant afford it, so I will probally just strip it down myself and have my uncle weld some gussets in it for me. Do you sandblast them, or use some kind of stripper??

[Pappy]

powdercoated frames go thru a burn off oven, then are media blasted.

[hondardr4life]

Woah, i dont have any of those. I'm not even sure if the frame is PC'd or not. I thought they were painted stock. I'm not sure though.

[Pappy]

in any event, we prefer to handle prep from start to finish, but you gusseting is no big deal. just keep me posted if and when ya send it.

[hondardr4life]

Alright, I wont mess with prep work. I will gusset it though if it isnt done already. How long does it usually take from between when I send the stuff and when you send it back?

[Pappy]

i try o keep it 2 weeks or under, but this time of year the volume of work, the weather, holiday schedules etc all seem to gang up and slow me down.

in a few more weeks, i am hoping to turn them in a week, and in the very short future i hope to turn frames in just a few days:devil:

[hondardr4life]

Wow, I was expecting 2 or 3 months, im impressed. Well, as soon as I get my 250 and decide what i want to do to it, I will tear it down and send some parts out.

[JDiablo]

lol pappy is never that slow,only for me HEHE,j/k

Pappy if you start doing frames in a couple of days,ill send you mine until i find the color that stuns everyone :devil: :macho

???Media blasted??? do ya read to em or just turn up the tv real loud?:huh

[Pappy]

hah well, the term "media" refers to several differnt types of "media abrasives" that can be used to strip the old finish from a part. these range from sand (rarely used in todays market) to plastic pellets for stripping aircratf bodies.

so saying "sandblasting just doesnt cut it these days as sand is not used:p

so i guess you had to still do my frame?
