[Pappy]

i really like the "vein' POWDERS. the silvervein looks real good and i will be doin some gold vein next week

[Pappy]

i added clearcoat to this silvervein ...hoping it would add even more durability to the powder. that grab bar was well worn .

how about this one,,,,,i even have green silver vein, and pink if i remember correctly....lol

[Pappy]

i saw that...on that site u sent me too. i havent ordered from them yet...but soon. so many choices it is unreal.

[Pappy]

i think that blue vein would look sweet on a arms and swing arm then have a trans blue or shimmering blue frame with white plastic. i need a computer programe to design this stuff...my friggon head is gonna explode from the possibilities!!!!

[MX26]

[CBW]

atc250r frame i did a long time ago in translucent violet

[CBW]

and this can be considered prismatic black,,,,,or from another company one called city lights. But i did it before i knew it could come premixed,,,,,,and added a bunch of prism to mirror black

The colors on the sites are just color bars and in no way give detail to the colors........for example there is very little difference in the color bar for red,,,,,,and lollypop red translcent. Sorry:(

was that my frame that you didn't get any money from it???if so i would have gave you the regular price..

[Pappy]

ha...the time alone is worth $350

[250x]

:D

[250x]

thats my yella up there and its colored in honda civic si blue. so many think you have to powder to be durable. ya dont. as long as you do a pro job with auto paint preped good and baked in a booth it holds up just as good and looks better. this winter the whole frame will be that blue. just need shock socks now, i dont care for red on yellow. not bashing red i just dont like it with yellow. what do ya'll think of the color blue with the yeller:)

[Jay300ex]

That would be a cool scheme. I was going to have my ex done with that blue prism and have the minor bolt ons and such done the perrty purple or a dark scarlet. would look neat with black plastics and a nice hood =).


Jay

[lil400exman]

whats involved how do you start? how tools do you need to do it? i wanna do this stuff to my quad will yo 2 shre with me you tricks of the trade?:D

well how bout this for a color scheme! i have red thor gear and helment and gloves. and my 400 has a lightning green frame with yellow plastics, blue lights and block-off. some other blue stuff along with a bunch of decals on the plastic. and you cant forget the red hubs lol. ill post a few pics sometime when i get the chance to scan em'. lata dayz!

[Rastus]

Yep, those are my ole' hubs off my 250X.Great job on the stuff kenny,I got some of my stuff back yesterday....I said "hey" to the UPS guy too,lol.




I really hope my qaud turns out good....It will probably still be a POS...:(:(

[Pappy]

lmao...hey chris..i did the trans red correctly...lmao:)

[Dave400ex]

[Pappy]

yes and no...i did it the way your drawing was ..haha...like 4 times now!! i cant seem to get a good flow from the dark to the light color..yet:) here is a pic ..3 rd attemp i believe.

[Castor-426ex]

thats pretty wild..man you are getting awesome

lmao..yeah first time i did trans red..i didnt use the chrome base....and you can see through it..lol but it looks good over brushed aluminum....

[L.Vegas400]

3 times :eek: i had the bolts setting on the counter ready to sent with it, but i forgot them.

[Pappy]

haha...no bolts...lol

i have tried putting the colors in a lil different scheme to see if it would come out better. i will get it tho!!!

[L.Vegas400]

i feel i am doing you a great service. the fact that i dont miss the part, and you have a test piece to test all your crazy idears on. will high heat eng paint work on the bolts? hhmmm i guess ill just have to try it.;)

[CBW]

Man some stuff just fights ya tooth and nail.......no matter how long ya been doin the stuff.........:rolleyes:

well....it seems when ya get a clean edge...ya screw up the fade and vise-versa!!! but i would rather learn by my mistakes i geuss!! i cant imagine doin a frame and having it screw up and then starting over....i will keep tissue near my work area...:(

[CBW]

it sure takes all the fun outta it..........:(

[bklyn400ex]

my frame is startin 2 dull a little bit, i want to give it a quick spray, any suggestions on what kinda paint to use. i am also wondering what is originally used, what kinda paint, or is it powder coated

[Pappy]

i do believe they use an epoxy paint but not positive. if you plan on keeping your ride...get it powdercoated from wherever ya can. paint is good and will last if you have it done proffesionally.

[CBW]

lollypop blue.:huh

[CBW]

close up.........yeah the color changes like the raptor frame i did:p

[Pappy]

that turned out sweet:D :D

[CBW]

Not as good as i would have hoped.......but it will have to do. This frame ate my lunch today:o And after doing it i cant afford lunch tomorrow:(

[Pappy]

chris....my dad told me this along time ago ....it aint a screw up...its just more practice:p of course he made me fix all he wrecked..lol:cool:

well from the pics it sure looks sweet. i will make a order from them next week..looks like some good stuff

[CBW]

like i told oj250r,,,,,the spots that are less than perfect will be under plastic and never be seen.......so yeah when it comes down to it,,,,,,,,,with PC its ALL practice ............LOL:D :p

[2k2-300exnj]

i am really liking that orange i was thinking orange with white meir and white a-arms and a swingarm with orange prism
my stuff will be goin to one of you guys in about a year

[CBW]

black frost vein............or silvervein if you want:rolleyes:

[steve400ex]

front arms are next maybe a little blue to break up the red/yellow

[2k2-300exnj]

around what is the cost of powder coating a-arms? does color change the price?
what are the newest colors you guys have... also can u show some different versions of a black coat

[mxracer111]

anybody know if you can get a high temp. clear coat for powdercoating. what i want to do is clear over a sandblasted 250r sparks sxhaust. it is old and rusted and i dont want to buy a new one. i thought it would be pretty cool to clear over it after sandblasting it. i think it'll look good but i cant find a powder that will stand up to heat like that?

[Pappy]

heres a pic of candy red translucent....

[Pappy]

candy red over reflective white

[Pappy]

this is black with irredessant indigo

[Dave400ex]

I like that Black Frost.

[rap169]

I do some powdercoating on the side my self. Those are nice pics and good jobs. Where do you all get your colors from? any good websites to buy powder from. If anybody has any parts they would like done....small parts for now....nothing big, Let me know. I will do them for really cheap, as i am still just doing it for the experience. prob do them for cost of material. I can send you pics of some thing if interested. Email me at rap169@psu.edu . Like i said..im more interested in experience than profit. And i like some of those ideas and am interested in some of those colors if anybody could tell me where they buy their powder.

[CHAUNCY]

Yea what was that site some people were talking about on this thread to buy powder ?

[2k2-300exnj]

about how much is it for powder coating pm me
for example... a-arms, swingarm, frame,...?
jw

[Castor-426ex]

i might have a starter kit for sale in a few....not sure yet...if so Ill post it in the classifieds

[400exstunta]

someone gimme a price:

frame and subframe in red with prizm
frame and subframe in tucker orange metallic
frame and subframe in gloss black

[MX26]

[ill_lil_romey]

You guys are crazy!! All those different frame colors are so awesome, right now I am tearing my quad down to get the frame gusseted and powdercoated, but I just don't know what color. I can look at this shish all day!!

[Red Rooster]

[racin 400]

[razer]

This is one of the best threads I've red. Now I have some great ideas about what I want!

[400MXer]

How does Powdercoating hold up on a sprocket.......would it be better to anodize a sprocket?????????????

[Ralph]

well the pc just wears off on the teeth but the rest would be fine, but u wouldnt see it for long witch all the grease from the chain...

[Pappy]

yes...anodizing would be best....but the stock sproket is steel and the last time i checked you cant anodize steel. it can however be parkerized if durability is an issue and not looks. parkerizing is used on steel for the ultimate in protection....it aint pretty but it works very well.

[CBW]

i did my sprocket,,,,,,,,,,,and it has lasted quite a while:D

[Pappy]
