that is my top choice right now, red/chrome, pappy does good work!

[Pappy]

ya could get fancy:rolleyes:

[Nate250ex]

oooooooooo, i like that too! for the same price? would bottom a-arms in black look good?

hey pappy im nates close friend and he said u do good work.i have a 2002 black and white blaster and im wondering what colors for the front a-arms heres a pic to help

[Nate250ex]

lmao!!!! hahahaha when did you get that pic taken, yes pappy does fine work!!! he is top dog for PCing

[Pappy]

id say do black lowers with either metalic silver uppers or ...pearl white uppers. i have seen blaster a arms....but check to see if the ball joint sare removable.

ok well il go with the black lower(metal flake black or just a shiny black)and a real nice sparkly pearl silver,and yes the ball joints come off.whats my otal pappy?

[Nate250ex]

he means total, lol. im thinkin if it doesnt cost extra or anything and if it does, i might go with the elka red for all four or just bottoms. i dont know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pappy]

a arms are $45 .....as long as ya dont get to wild with the colors the price is the same:p

WHATS THE SHINYEST BLACK YA GOT,ILL GO WITH MY A-ARMS BLACK.AND HOW STRONG IS THIS STUFF WILL IT CHIP?

[310Rduner]

hey paps, about my arms, whats the shiniest, most beautiful blue ya got? i was thinking u doing em like jays after i saw his blue bottom/sparkly silver tops i really liked it.

[Pappy]

the pc is pretty tuff.....but if you ride in a ton of rocks....it will eventually get beat to death....like chrome or just about any finish will. high gloss black with clear is the best black.

i have several deep blues....just have to pick the shade you like:p

[Nate250ex]

i was also thinkin that black with elka red on the top a-arms?

[DantheEXman]

just send it in a box and dont tell him what ya want... he loves that lmao.

il take the smoke chrome on my a-arms but it will be awhile i have to sell some stuff on ebay first

[mental1]

I was thinking about putting my tax return to good use this and gettin my frame pc'ed how would I ship it? And is shipping spendy or not to bad? Any ideas

[Pappy]

shipping from minn. would be about $40 each way. it may be more logical to have it done locally.:(

[mental1]

I didn't know of any where locally that would do a frame, all the places I called said they wouldn't do it. And then today I picked up a copy of ATVSport and this issue has listing of performance shops for various things and, one that does powder coating in Minn. So I'll check 'em out, see what they can do. Thanks though.

has anyone mastered pc ing stock 400ex a-arms without melting the plastics in the ball joints??. If so what temp are you baking them at? I want to do mine, but dont want to ruin them.

[Pappy]

the only way to do them....is to only bake the powder to flow out. the temerature is low enough to not even bake the grease, but with that comes the fact that it isnt a strong bond to the metal. its almost like a 1/2 arse pc job to be honest. it still looks good but its durability has yet to prove itself. cooking them further then flowout will start the plastic ball joint cup to melt....and it could become brittle causing premature ball joint failure. ranger has a set up that will convert your stock a arms into an aftermarket style ball joint set up. but IMO .....just save up and get some a arms. there are plenty of used ones around.....and i can get ya a smokin deal on a set of new ones if ya cant find any.:)

[310Rduner]

hook me up this summer. this summer im working on the suspension, thinking jd plus 2 or arens, perhaps lsr if i fork over enough money.

what kind hook up could you get me? im sure u could get discoundt from all the things you buy lol

[Woodsrider]

Pappy is that columbia's chrome in that pic? I got a couple pounds of that on the way. Gonna be PC'n the '69 minis fenders and chain guard, and headlight bezle in it. :D

[rap169]

where can i get info on the conversion for the ball joints on my stock a-arms?
