Moly is a dry film lubricant that is applied to any non ferrous metal part to add permanent lubrication and protect the metal against corrosion and wear. its more a workhorse then cosmetic but having the parts remain "non rust" color is a plus..haha. its best used on small parts.


frame and sub frames are now $225 for translucents, $175 for solid colors.

hubs and other small parts can run from $15 to $35 depending on how much labor and prep has to go into them.

swing arms (stock $50, aftermarket $75) and i try to do only solid colors if possible

stems $35 stock $50 aftermarket (prefer solid or trans colors with vein basecoat)

a arms sets $55 to $75 and again, solid colors work best.

Trans colors are ok on a frame and sub, but they tend to show wear much faster on hard used parts like a arms. stems and swing arms can be done but some types of swing arms are constructed in a way that makes uniform coverage of the top color coat very hard if not immpossible to do right everytime.

prices stay pretty constant, prep, tape work etc along with packaging supplies can drive the cost up.
