So i decided why I'm down for surgery I'm going to strip my girl down to bare frame. I'm going to repaint my frame Honda red, my subframe is going to be a bright yellow along with my hubs. I will do my lower A-arms red and the upper arms will be yellow. I will keep all the plastics and wheels the same. My swingarm will be black. What do you guys think???

Are you going to spray it or powder coat?

I will PC it. I don't want to spend that much time trying to make it look good only to rattle can it. I don't plan on doing this again for a long while so i want it to last.

I'm sorry I own a painting co. so when I say spray I naturally think of (spray equip.). I guess I need to think in another way when I say spray paint!.........lol

LOL, sorry. I was actaully thinking of having it painted and cleared. What do you think would last longer, be more durable, and a better look?

 

[mud99]

I would go with the powder coat. It will last way longer.

 

[Redracer]

That's what I was thinking, especially with all the rocks and such.

 

[submarine 300]

Powder coat is the most durable by far. As for the look it's all in the prep. work. You can get a really durable finish with an epoxy but it will have to be clear coated to keep the epoxy from chaulking. I personaly would use the epoxy and clear because of the savings. but a few years with epoxy and several years with powder coat could mean alot if you keep the quad a long time.

 

[submarine 300]

Powder coat can also be silkscreened over. But use 2 to 3 coats of powder clear over the image......just figured you could be real creative!

Hay Red when i do mine again it will be PC mine still lookes good but have some paint chipping off from rocks and dirt hitting it do the Powder coat it will last a lot longer!

I think you guys convinced me... I'm going to go start the strip down here in a few minutes.

That would be good therapy after surgery, putting it back together, anyway.
