VHT makes a frame paint that comes in Yamadog blue.


Or maybe its PJ1?

just get a metalic blue and itll look good my frame looks real close imo

 

[Blasterb0y794]

IDk i want it almost exact. Yours is a little too blue. Its a deep purplish metallic blue.

pshhh have it your way.. or go black dont paint it get it pc'd my paint is chipping like crazy..

Try Dupli Color metals cast over a black base. Or better yet try that over a series of different color bases until you get what you want. A good paint shop might be able to match it.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

True true.

Im debating wether or not to get it powdercoated. I want to but i could save some money to put towards something else yah know? Its all how you prep it too.

 

[coreyownz]

trust me im no dummy and my dad had a body shop for over 25 years we preped it good and used good dupont single stage expoxy i mean it holds up good buy not like pc'd would

PC chips just as easily as paint, FYI. Around here I can get a frame blasted and coated for $125. Paint with all the supplies costs me about the same.

im not saying your a liar corey im just saying everyone does everything different. look at the OEM paint on the frame, that sh*t lasts for a long time.

Im going to check the powdercoaters this weekend I:I

SHOP AROUND. And see if any one does package deals for large orders.

Im in dutchess county, wappingers falls, near poukeepsie. There is a guy called L and S i believe thats the name and there is another guy in poukeepsie that does wheels for $400 and my frame and a-arms will prob use as much powder as 2 wheels so im figuring like around $200

 

[coreyownz]

the stock frame paint is baked on

 

[Blasterb0y794]

I know that but its all how you do it. Im not saying your dad doesnt know how to prep metal but people do it different and better than other people.

 

[Blasterb0y794]

Ok so i got some updated pics, still looking for the frame color, but have some pretty good matches. Got the shocks, pegs, sprocket, tie rods brake and shifter and a few other little things powdercoated. Ordered my new a-arms tuesday, so they should be here by the end of the week, the motor carbs, and suspension and stator are fully cleaned.

heres SOME pics...

[Blasterb0y794]
