Contact Dave400ex. He powdercoated his frame the stock color. Pappy did his work, so he could probably tell you also.

TWISTED also did his bike similar to that or had his arms done to match the frame. Looks darn good.

Even though they're a dime a dozen, I had mine powdered black. My buddy did his a darker metallic silver than stock color. Pretty sharp in my opinion. It was dark enough you know it's not stock, and light enough to never get confused with black.

your frame is sharp, but the motor is awesome.

that be great and all to get my quad all powder coated like that, but taking my quad down to bare bones doesn't sound like alot of fun. How long does it take to take it completely apart?

Who makes that lift your using, I want one. I use a system of pullies and hang mine from the ceiling when I work on it and it sucks. Keeps wiggling around.

If you're mechanically inclined, you can have it down in less than two days. The key is to bag all the bolts, label the bags, and take pictures along the way. This will make it easier when you put it back together.

The first time I did mine I started at 7 a.m. and was done about 5 p.m. Granted, I looked like a sack full of monkeys on fire throwing bolts everywhere, but it got done:p It took a little longer to put it back together:scary:

You'll have to contact Moto-Xperts. He sells them. I'm not sure what brand they are.
