im wanting to do my frame in a bright fluorescent color and was wanting to know what the best base coat is for a fluorescent color. Also, can you do fluorescent colors? Im wanting a really bright fluorescent yellow frame, LTR450. If i could get a quote that would be sweet. Everything is already sand blasted thoroughly and ready to coat. Thanks

I havent done alot of the flouresants, however they do offer a single stage now so no basecoat is required


To do a frame and subframe, it would be $145 if its sent stripped

ok, so for the final quote lol, how much to do frame, subframe, and lower a arms in the brightest fluorescent yellow and whats the turn around time? and by stripped you mean sandblasted right? Thanks

$175 frame and sub
$25 Lower arms


2 weeks or so as long as bad weather doesnt screw up my blasting schedule and pending my supplier has that color in stock.

Yes, stock painted frames are sandblasted. I may be able to chip a little more off but thats a big if depending on how well the parts are prepped when they arrive and even to the extent of what they were blasted with so I have to go with what info I have:p

Yep, th neon colors are slightly higher then regular colors due to the powder cost. I will still add a primer coat as I do with most every part I pc
