Got my frame back from the powder coater's

[motoXXX]

here's some pics of my frame that i just picked up from the powder coater, got the upper forks and strengthened frame done and man it looks sweet worth every cent,cost $99 for the both...

next week ill get my swingarm done silver and my hubs done a candy red colour to go with new heavy duty black rims...

its around the same price to get it painted and no way any painter can get a finish like powder coat its so thick and smooth as a babys bottom (no i dont no what a babys bottom feels like its just a saying lol)...i dont thicnk this could ever chip unlike paint...

might get the mso frame done white or red! that looks smick!

 

[I_THUMP]

That would look good crazy but it might cost the same as buying a new frame that is already red.

[unit_mx]

Looks sick.

Frame looks preety braced too!

Good stuff , think I'll have to get mine done now!

 

[crazzy #1]

cut away at the metal, simple as!

 

[I_THUMP]

^^Thats it but just dont let the sparks from the angle grinder put burn marks in that shiney black finish and all should be good.

yea, powder coat has come a long way over the years. Now days you can get custom finishes, even candy and pearl. If its been done properly it will last forever ( almost )

The only other way to do it is 2pac paint. But that would be more expensive and less durable.

 

[wogtaz ryder]

would 2pac Clear work over normal paint on a frame? and how much you reckon that would cost? i should really ask my dad hes a painter..... sleeping at 8:am pfft wat a girl

 

[I_THUMP]

Shit thats not good If they are not interested in your complaint then do all you can to f*** them up legaly coz if its dodgy workmanship and the job was not done properly then they deserve to be penalised and also named and shamed.

As we have seen there are members here that know the right way it should be done so they can help to give u some info on what exactly hasnt been done correctly. Then when u ring them they will be surprised that u know so much about powder coating and why they did a shit job and u can tell them exactly how it is.

Good luck

Sand blasters are only $30 from supercheap auto man. so you could of done it yourself...some guys are just dodgey as mate. Hunt them down.

 

[50freak]

Thats so crap mate, They should of told You from the start the price of sand blasting wouldn't be included in the quoted price instead of just letting you assume It was being done.

Well atleast you know for next time to stay clear of that place.
