Hey Pap just sent out my frame subframe anti fade loc nut and swing arm. They are all stripped and ready to shoot. I am still on the fence and trying to decide to either do white or stealth black. Is white as bad as everyone says it is? Does it stain? I just want it look nice after half a season....
heres the graphics what color you think?

White isnt so bad. I have had several riders run white in the GNCC's and they love it.
My biggest gripe would be the guys who ride non stop in heavy red clay....that stuff just wont come off light colors it seems but it could be elbow grease and better attention to care of the finish

nice color combinations. my buddy has a gloss white R frame with candy red a arms and swinger. and it looks sharp. i would like to see pictures as its finished.. i dont think he has had too much trouble cleaning the white frame either. but like pap said that orange dirt can be a pain but it comes clean

I dropped off more frames today but they havent stripped anything yet this week. At best maybe thursday but with us getting another 2 feet of snow tonight I wouldnt hold my breath
Be safe in it....

Hey Pap i am thinking a color change, i had you powdercoat a yfz a while go and i called the color dunk yellow.... you think that color would look good with my color combo's?
Pappy
02-10-2010, 09:31 PM
It would be ok, your call, I just do the work:p
As much as I hate shooting white, it will blend your colors together pretty good

I picked up a batch today but they had not stripped 3 frames, 1 of which is yours. I am scheduled to pick those 3 up on thursday
It should work out pretty good, I have to clean the booth and change lines out and I will have another complete quad to do in white as well as yours so it wont be much longer
