ok...my new 400 is now in a million pieces. the frame is being stripped....along with other parts. im gonna keep the silvervein a arms and swing arms for now....but i need to figure out a frame color and the other lil parts and pieces.

rico said i have to do the frame in redvein or he will set it on fire at hatfield:p so i was thinking ....elka red everything else:confused: also....im thinking of doing the oil tank in redvein to match the frame:confused:

i need some input.....cuz in about an hour .....its gettin some bling laid down on it:devil

Do the oil tank in black or silver. Don't do it the same color as the frame, do it something else so it stands out.

Black chrome is one of my favs but I also like silver hammertone which I just had mine done in. It would be worth it just to spite Rico. Besides its probably gonna be cold at Hatfield!:rolleyes:

01-20-2003, 02:13 PM
hey kenny do u have any pics of hamertone. i just got my aarms done in hammertone and wanted to see some diff pics of it

yes definitly redvein the frame or else ill have to personaly come down to asist Rico in the burning lol but id say elka red for everything else and on the oil tank go with mirror black or somehting with a good gloss I think that would make the 400 look awsome. Is this going with the yellow plastic?

Also what color are you going to do the lrd frmaed 400?

01-20-2003, 04:48 PM

killed300ex
01-20-2003, 04:52 PM
well im wondering on the redvein lol also do those pices include sandblasting or however you get the paint off? Thats a good price either way lol
killed

Pappy
01-20-2003, 04:59 PM
yep...they include me prepping the frame or sub. if it has been pc'd before, it would add about $65 to the cost. pc is a ***** to remove:grr

exriderdude
01-20-2003, 05:06 PM
so that would be $215 for a whole 300 frame then....


a local shop did mine for $180

And some local shops aren't exactly pros...I had a local shop do my hubs, and their was areas that they missed! Luckily Pappy is going to make it all better :cool: So you see, sometimes its better to pay a little bit more to have someone with the extra experience do the job....I know that now.

Id rather spend the extra money to have someone i know and trust doing my frame then saving the extra money and geting crao like you did just my .02$ though i mean id rather get crap done professionaly than have some hich go out in the back yard and spray it and look like crap
pappy thats a big compiment lol i wont trust my dad now though! he screwed me over im mlike but clear coat on it when he did this frame hes like well we use a special powder that you dont need it and now the thing chips easier then *****. So im not gonna have him pc anyhitng else casue he wont clear coat it for me so that mean i jsut gotta save up and give you my buisness. Plus you can only do flat colors. No vein or prizem or stuff like that

and to all the people that dissed:

this is not a dude in a garage that did it, this is a big company. they do pro pc'in for other companies.

oh, and i garantee you they have tons more colors than pappy, i ask them for blue and they gave me a novel full of all different shades.

dont tell me that pappy does a better job, he might, i dont know. but he is just one man workin alone in his garage or whatever and this is a big company that does it.

No offense exriderdude. But what is your deal? Is it really necessary to get in a pissing match about this? It's great that you got your frame done locally by a shop that you are confident in. I am sure you saved a ton of money that way, but there are many people that are very happy with the work that Ken does and with his work ethic. Nobody HAS to ship there work out to Pappy but, if you are looking for someone that does PC and does it right at a good price then they SHOULD send him a PM and box up their parts.

Let's just leave it at that.

Thats all that anyone can expect. From what i have seen and read
Pappy does great work and makes sure the job is done right or it dont leave his shop and he does the job in a timely manner and promptly ships the parts back. It seem that he goes that extra mile to make sure customer is happy. I would be happy to pay few bucks extra for that kind of service. Plus every part he PC's has that special "bling" to it.

PAPPY- dude i have no idea what the hek you are talkin about:confused:

i just simply stated that i got mine done at a local shop... that is all i said, i did not imply anything about you. the main reason i did that was that i wanted to post a pic of my quad and that it had something to do with powder coating. then some people must have thought that i was saying that mine is better than yours or something and i tried to clear it up but i guess i just made it worse, i dont know why you called me a peckerhead:huh what did i say???


RICO- are you serious?? that was kinda unexpected, i am just poking fun at you, and you do it right back at me.


02 RED RIDER- i am not trying to get in a pissing match. and i never said i was confident in this company.... actually if pappy and the company that did mine would cost the same price, then i would send it to pappy.

dude, do you know who did my pc'in:confused: cuz the dude that did mine is named ken, and im not sure which one your talkin about..lol but i think your talkin about pappy right??
