powdercoating

[tyman2395]

hey is 150 good price to get my frame and subframe powdercoated?and when i get it done before i take it down do i have to sanded or will they sandblast it?

[lilyamaharacer4]

they should just sand blast it, because you can still miss alot of spots that only sandblasting can get to.

[tyman2395]

ok what color do you guys think will look good with my yellow plastics?

[lilyamaharacer4]

Its up to you. My dream colors are purple frame on silver laker plastics.

[tyman2395]

would you guys think something like lollypop red would look good?

NO! I already tried that color and it looks bad. I am trying about a million and one colors! Yellow is a pain. I kinda like brown, black, orange, green, and alot of people say blue, but I don't like it. What ever you choice is, share it with us!

Here's the best pic I have of mine with yellow frame (very close to stock, but slightly lighter) and black a-arms, swingarm, and tie rods.

Gotta be black or white, that way of you change the plastics later, you can adapt any colour to match.

thats a smoking price if it includes sand blasting. blasting should run you around $75, so at $225 your still in it very reasonable.

Here locally (Oregon) it costs right at $300, but that includes a few extras like foot pegs, brake lever, motor mounts, etc.

The Honda yellow is a hard one to color coordinate with. Black would be my choice, since you can change the plastics later and it will always look good.

Red will make it look muddy. White, youll never get a shade that will look just right...either too chaulky or not bright enough. A dark blue might work. Yellow is the same as White, youll never get it to match just right. A nice bright Green or Orange would look good too.

Haha, I figured it someone would notice. I had to crank down the preload a lot in the rear, but a GT Thunder mx linkage is next on the list :D

This is the last one I have that shows the frame. As you can see, the yellows don't match perfectly, but it looks fine to me.
