I had mine powder coated matte black and I really like the look. Also like the way gloss powder coat looks

This orange will go real good with orange plastic or white....I used white fullbore with mine.

Red goes with red plastic or the yellow.

I took the time to sand all the paint off, smooth out the metal, grind all the unused tabs, then clear coated the bare metal.

My next build is gonna be white frame, red and black accents, an white plastic or possibly red for a MX cr80 hybrid 400ex frame.

Me too, I want to get mine pcd and dont know what to get it done in. I want just red and black because I have red plastics and black "accents" on it. But I don't know what I should make red and what black. And I want to have a custom graphics set made for it, to basically wrap all of the plastics

It has red plastics with black a-arms and swing arm. I was thinking about gloss black but wasn't for sure on how easy it shows scratches and stains?

A buddy of mine has his black and after ridin it for a long time and all th mud and stuff it looks dirty and the dirt never comes all the way off. I really like the looks of the black when it is freshly painted it looks really good but after a while it starts to look dirty. I just painted my subframe blue and took white paint and misted it so it has like a white flake to it kinda in my opinion it looks really good and mathches my a arms. Truthfully when it comes to color its all just your own opinion everbody likes somthing different.

I would like to powdercoat my frame like a gunmetal black to match my yellow plastics. But that's a project for another time. :p
