I have the engine out of my son's quad to replace the crank. Since its out, and the quad is 90% dismantled, he suggested we repaint the frame. The frame is factory silver and we run all black plastic with a red seat and hubs. He wants to paint the frame red to match the seat and hubs. I would prefer to keep it silver. I worried the after 1st few scratches the silver and or primer will show through and then it will look terrible.
For those that have painted their frames, when you changed the frame color, what were the results, good / bad. Just an FYI, powder coat is out of the question until next year. If he pushes me on it, I was thinking about trying to find red primer and then the top coat of red. I was also thinking of using engine paint to help hold up to the abuse. Also we will be painting the frame with a rattle can in the garage. Yes, I'm cheap... errr frugal...
Any and all suggestions welcome...
