[Foxrage]

Here is my frame i Por15. Sorry for the crapy pics.

[Derek]

How much did that run you?

[Foxrage]

The start up kit was 15 plus i bought a quart of the paint it ended up being like 60 dollars plus i can do like 3 more frames with what i have left.

[Derek]

Where can you buy this stuff?

[Pvt. Maggot]

that looks like crap.....my 5cents.....:ermm:

[ny300exrider]

i think thats awsome for the price...how do you do it and was it hard? 60 dollars is a great deal and i heard por is pretty good too....thanks

[Derek]

Yea really. You cant really go wrong with trying it out for 60 bucks either. And when i get my frame done, I want something that wont get chipped out either.

[toby400ex]

PLEASE get some better pics, i might wanna do this. Did it dry smoother than it looks?:)

[Pvt. Maggot]

it looks ok it just looks like you threw lumpy pudding on it...the color is ok though...

[forum]

maggot... your a goof.. why are you bashing it so bad!?

[Foxrage]

Try por15.com
The reason i tried it is because 60 dollars compared to close to 200 after shipping your frame to get it PC is a big difference. It is suppose to be just as tough.

[Foxrage]

I know it doesnt look that great in the pics but it looks good in person plus it saved me alot of money and time. Ill get better pics of the whole 4 wheeler when its donew outside in the sun.

[Pvt. Maggot]

i'm not bashing it...i kinda like it the more i look at it...and that is pretty cheap...but in the first pic it looks like ash mud and lumpy pudding mixed....lol :p

[ny300exrider]

thats really awsome man...you did it yourself right?you just paint it on?looks great and i will be doing it instead of pc...maybe next winter ill do a little por15 rebuild:) thanks for showing us

[Derek]

Yea....please go threw how you get it on your frame and so on.

[motoboy66]

I have seen this stuff in person. It looks almost like a black pc frame. I was very impressed, so I am doing my lt230 rebuild it it, needed something for the lady freinds to ride. I was told that you can do the whole frame with the starter kit, and if not get two $30.00. This stuff is used on boats in salt water so you know its gotta be good stuff.

I stripped my frame really really good then cleaned it goo with some marine clean that came in the starter kit. Then washed it off then used some metal ready they sent in the starter kit. Then let it dry good and painted it on. You could probly get away with buying about 8oz of it to do a frame. But im doing a couple for some friends so ended up making money off the deal.

[toby400ex]

do you have any idea how this stuff lasts, such as fading and cracking and peeling?

[Foxrage]

It is suppose to be very good against chips and cracks. They say if it is exposed to sunlight like a patio chair or something it will fade unless you cover it with another coat of different paint. L8er

[Derek]

Can you buy it at like an auto shop or walmart or do you have to go through the website?

[toby400ex]

i think only throught their site, i ll prolly be doing this, this summer:o

[yellowex01]

Try this one..:) If you do a search this was covered in depth a couple of months ago.. This is the white por15

[Foxrage]

I think some car shops do carrie it. I think i read that somewhere. But it might take forever to find a shop that has it.

[300EXrider02]

hey fox, my a-arms that you did hold up awesome, and it looks awesome, really glossy, looks great thanks

[Foxrage]

Thanks I havent had a chance to try any parts out yet with that paint. I hope they hold up good it took some time to do.

[toby400ex]

i wonder how it would look with my frame blue with my subframe black and my swinger black with my arms black.:eek2:

[bklyn400ex]

fox, i just started my frame, they told me to use the blackcote as a topcoat because the regular POR15 will fade in the sun, how did u strip your frame, did u totally strip off all the paint, if so how did u do it? thanx

[Foxrage]

O Well Mine doesnt usualy sit out in the sun very often in i notice some fade I guess i will redo it. I just used some DADs Easy striper from walmart best stripper i have used. It may take a while to scrup off though. Best bet is to pay like 50 bucks to get it sandblasted.

[honda400zx]

i dont know about the colord por 15 but the black IS very uv sensitive and WILL fade ill show you a pic of my frame right after it dried and a month later. :eek:

[honda400zx]

after

[Foxrage]

It doesnt look that different. Was there a bed or anything on there and has it been outside the whole month? Thanks

[Derek]

my quad will never see that much sun. It usally sits in the garage when im not riding it.

[bklyn400ex]

i got the majority of paint off, should i just put the por over the rest, its not rusty

[Foxrage]

I wouldnt suggest it maybe a little bit but if any of the old paint comes off its comin off with it and could cause more and more paint to come off.

[bklyn400ex]

did u have to thin out the POR or it went on smooth, and how many coats did u put on, and did it hold up good?

[Foxrage]

I left it the way it was and just applied to coats. Im not sure how good it holds up on my frame but i have did some little parts and they seemed to hold up well.

im with magot on this one!

[Foxrage]

I know its not that great but it looks goo now once i have some parts on it. once it gets done i hope people will like it. Thanks for the coments

[kicken250x]

how do you apply it to the frame? is it like a spray or a bursh on (that would look like crap....:rolleyes: ) or what?

[speedy400]

well the starter kit comes with 2 brushes so I think so, the paint dosn't show brush strokes I guess...-darren

[bklyn400ex]

yea, there are no brush strokes

it loosk to clumpy like it was put on thick and your have brush streaks or something but whatever floats your boat


i bought some car spray paint and did my whole 400 frame its a charcoal and looks like a z 400 and came out great pretty strong too :cool: only cost me 12 bucks

[Foxrage]

I bet it will last longer then any store bought paint.

[bklyn400ex]

fox, i experimented with my bumper like a month ago, when the POR was fully dry, i hit it with a hammer, and it didnt chip at all, it did put a little dent in the paint, but it didnt go down 2 the metal

[Foxrage]

I did to a test with a hammer, screw driver and everything i could find. It would take a really sharp nife with alot of pressure to scratch it. I dont know how well it will hold up against normal riding.

[bklyn400ex]

im gonna brush on the regular POR and then i think imma spray on the topcote

itll last me til i get the arens

the way every1 is talking it soudns to thick to spray on? well...i guess if its like the spray gun my uncle has for doing houses and such then it has changeable "bits" for different thickness paints. but if i doesnt then it doesnt sound like u could?

[bklyn400ex]

you have to thin it out to spray it, they sell a thinner
