Just wandering on how many of you all have just sprayed your frame with a good ol can of spray paint? I have seen some paint in a can turn out pretty good if you do it write (primer and then lay about 10 coats of clear to it). Just wandering if any of you have done this and how it turned out? Thinking about doing mine this winter, it would be cheap and easy.

buddy of mine had his banshee frame sprayed at a body shop it looks real good and is holding up nicely also.

i think they used imron paint and lots of clear on it.imron is very tough just not for sure if it will hold up very long ill let you know if his starts peeling off.

Yehh I figured it would not hold up in the high rub areas, ohh well at least you could always touch it up.

My opinion is that if your going to go through all that trouble to completely tear down your bike then be sure to save a little money for powder coating first!! Powder coating isnt really that expensive!! I had everything on my bike that can be powdercoated done in special order colors and it only cost me $200,,including ceramic coating the pipe!!!

well what i did is go to adecal or print shop and order the thickest clear viynal i could it was like 45mm or suthing order a big sheet of it and put it where your pants and boots touch it and also it will work on the motor too......where you boot touches the cases...;) my lil trik

I used that 45mm clear stuff. It helped out alot but when i started riding harder it started to peel and look like shi*. But it was great will it lasted.

My buddy put that Rino Liner stuff on his frame, you cant scratch that stuff! Looks bad *** also he got the red color. What do you guys thinkabout using that stuff? I like mine after I got it powercoated but his looks good and will not scratch off.
