i was going to powdercoat my frame red or candy red. i thought it would look good with all the black i have on the quad now. now moneys tight so i was thinking about doing the frame with truck bed liner.

what do you guys think powdercoat red or go with the liner?


any pics of this done would be appreciated

and is there anything special for prepping

This is the quad as it sits... well sat its in pieces now

Unless its the spray on bedliner professionally done than it wont hold up the way powdercoating will.

IMHO it will look like crap. Seen it done on many offroad trucks. They paint the lower part of the body with bed liner paint. It looks like a organge, all lumpy. Its pretty thick stuff, when it chips off there is not much you can do to hide it.

Ok then I guess powedercoating it is. I wanted to do the bedlinen cuz it would save me some money. But if powdercoating is worth the money than I guess that's the way to go

Powdercoating is well worth the extra money you would spend on paint or bedliner.

Yah powder is the real deal,,

I used rocker guard on my 426 swinger and it looks really good though.. I surprised myself with the outcome. a couple of coats with a couple coats of clear. I would consider doing it to the frame on the EX to, but Ive already got my 450r in peices ready for powder.. I'm not cutting corners on the 450.

Again, I'm NOT saying it will be as good as powder, but it looks good now.

Plus bedliner is heavy, you dont want to add that much weight to your quad. The lighter the better.
