Hey guys, i'm going to be gusseting and powdercoating my frame soon and i'm undecided on the color I want to go with.

The A-arms and swingarm are going to be Translucent Candy Blue. I sort of want to go with some contrast against the candy blue. So far, I am thinking either Chrome powdercoat, Gloss White powdercoat, or Candy Blue (not sure if this will be too monotonous against the A-arms and swinger). What do you think would look the best with the current color scheme?

These pics are old, but are the only good side shots I have of my quad. Anybody willing to do a quick Photoshop? Thanks!

Red would be cool I think, match your hubs and beadlocks, along with the accents in the graphics.

red would really flow with the nac's racing theme. yours is still one of my favorite ex's. i'm in the same boat.. gusset then white or black... hard decision.

Nothin wrong with red, it goes well with the Nac's theme and all. It's been done before though and i'm looking to do something a bit different. I'm still curious about chrome, white, stealth black, or candy blue.

Here's a couple nice ones in red

IMO, I would go with black. I think it would go good together with the black side plastics, tank cover, air scoops, and gas tank shield. Plus black just kinda goes good with any color.

A nice gloss black would get my vote

BLACK
It always looks good.
It will really set off the blue a-arms.
Maybe look into a matte black.
That will be mildly unique.
