i say powder it,,,,,,,,,,but i can do it for myself so i am a little biased...........:ermm:


As far as durability i have seen one thread with a "discussion" about it.......yes its tough,,and from years of experiance it could take days to get it back off even with stripper if you make a mistake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but nothing is indestructable.

Any powder that has been clearcoated will be more durable and UV resistant........

I've never used POR15 so i dont know about color choices,,,,,,,,but i do know there are one heck of a lot of PC colors out there,,,,,,,,,,,and if you want bright you can always go Flourescent:p

tanks for all the info i want full strength though its going to be my xc quad and i want good colorfast colors so you think por15 is stronger but powdercoat looks better?:confused:

but the frame is as it just came out of the oven;)
