Paint or powderocat frame?

[excess]

what is the big difference between the two?

If both were done professionally?

Would the paint hold up any less?

[anywhereEx]

Paint will not hold very well. PC will take a beating and still stay intact and not wear very easily.

PC is tougher than paint:)

[mx400]

PC is electrically charged when its put on and then baked till cured. paint takes forever to cure and PC is cured as soon as it cools. also PC is more durable because of it being Baked and Electrically charged when done. hope that helps

[excess]

usually how much is it to PC a frame?

[danney f]

usually around $150 and up. really depends on what color you what it done in.

get it PCed...dont make the same mistake i did:o

Its more cost effective to powdercoat them. Paint like imron would hold up for awhile but it is expensive and powdercoating will still last longer.

i got my frame, swingarm, a-arms, carrier, and tiny little things completely done in Ocean Blue and Silver for my blaster for about 250 for everything. it held up well to rocks and things

Shure it dose I use simple green and a power waser to wash my quad 3/4 of the time. Just dont sit there with the most powerfull setting on your powerwasher in one place stand back a little bit and its just fine.:rolleyes:
