wrinkle has a heavier texture and slightly lkess gloss

stealth has a finer grain and higher sheen

frame and sub $175

does that include blasting too?

in your honest opinion which one
would look the best?
since you've done so many.

My thought would be Stealth. Easier to clean.

yup

wrinkle black is the same as what arfsx uses. its not a bad color, but from what i have seen it will fade faster then stealth. i would have to check the specs but i am almost positive it is not uv stable and not the best choise for outdoor applications

another question, is candy red the same color
as the elka shock on the tops?

I can't make my dang mind up on colors.

thinking that same color of red (frame) with stealth
black swinger and arms?

yes, that color would be the closest to anodized red that Elka uses on their shocks

color scheme sounds good as well

I think I like the stealth better too, however the subframe was done that color to match the ARS-FX stuff. Could I have chosen for the ARS-FX parts it would be different. It looks good though, and I have been told from people that have that powder that it holds up good on the a-arms. I've also heard some say it's easy to clean and some say opposite. With a power washer it's all easy to clean :D

hey pappy, I was looking at the atv riders.com
450r project and it stated the frame was
trans. red? was that a typo?
that's the color I was thinking about
and maybe wrinlke or stealth swinger.

once I make up my mind, I'll be sending you
some parts, you're alot cheaper than my local
coater.

yes, it was translucent red (in the end they look about he same except with fire red you get a nice clear coat )

you don't clear all the colors? or just upon request?
you've got me confused now, the price you quoted
on the black colors, is that with clear coat?
if I'm going to do this, I WANT CLEAR COAT on'
everything, to me it just makes sense to do it
and wouldn't it last longer?

no, not every color gets a clear coat, and it does not always had strength or durability. certain colors have to have clear to activate the final color.

i can add clear to black, but would use a 80% gloss then clear. They are priced as two stage colors at that point. and you do not use clear on a texture black, but you can on silvervein and other "vein" colors.
