Hey Paps,
If you had to say, what would be the most durable and least amount of upkeep color? Would it be stealth black? I'm killing myself trying to figure out a color scheme! I dont want alot of shiny and hard to keep up stuff on this quad like the last.

Also, do you have something to get chrome off these days? Just like my old a-arms, my JRD's are chrome. :mad:

I think gloss black is probably one of the more durable colors. Not mirror black but a good gloss black.


I will look into seing what or where I can get chrome removed

Any news on the chrome Paps? I know your busy, no big rush.

Also, would moly hold up better than gloss black as just a coating and ease of cleaning?

the only folks that will actually remove chrome are those that chrome.


moly is more dureable then pc, but about 4 times the cost

yeah I had to hammer my swinger into my frame with a block of wood (I know you are going to kill me ken, right after you PC'd it) and it still looks perfect. The red seems to be almsot as good, just a little easier to scratch.
