Ok I need some ideas for powdercoat colors for my frame, I want something that will be noticeable but not tooo noticeable

I was thinking gloss black with silver flake clear coat, silver sparkle, or a silver close to stock

I think that Silver Vein would be the best choice because its a little darker but not really dark. It looks good like on this CT Racing 440ex. Its kinda hard to see though.

Go with Silver. So many ppl are going with Black now it not even cool. It makes me wish I never did it. But it still looks sweet as can be.....

I'm making my frame bluevien, your quad might look cool with that too, or maybe to much blue. but the black in the blue makes it a lot darker. I'm not sure what it will look like with blue plastic. I'm getting silver.

What about smoked chrome? Its darker than the stock color, but still sets it apart. Add some sparkle to the clear and that should set it off nicely;)

Geeeeeeez, i hope it doesn't look like that. that looks like it has green in it.

the stuff that is on my swingarm is a candy blue, with black viens threw it. i just gave my powdercoater my swingarm and said match it. the people at RPM called it Bluevien. Hopefully everything comes out like my swingarm.

Here is what I am going to do to mine as soon as I get my a-arms. I am going to powdercoat my frame red and my subframe, swingarm and a-rms black. It will look really cool. I am planning onreplacing the plastic at the same time since I broke it at the last race. It should look really cool when I get done with it.
