How many layers did you do? and what brand did you use? what was the cost?

[hack]

prepping:
sand all frame enough to scratch up clear coat a bit.
sanded down to frame on parts where original paint was peeling.

4 layers total:
1 layer of self etching primer
3 layers of liner.

the bran id rust-olemium if i'm not mistaken. bought at wally world.. cost is around $18 total? not counting primer since i has some laying around.

Do you know how well this stuff will hold up? And i wonder if they make different colors?

[hack]

if you prep right, it hold up wonderfully. as i said in my first post, i use this stuff on my truck all the time. i painted my wheels on the quad with it too and it held up great till i decided to do a couple hours worth of creek riding.
just average riding/mx, you'll be fine.

i doubt it comes in other colors.. i've never seen it if it does.

I would use it just for MX.

I did mostly. Thing is once it starts to peel in one spot its all comin off... I had mine blasted to metal and it still peeled. Powders the only way to go....

Auto Paint? My quad will ONLY see MX tracks, except the occasional first gear family trail ride.
