is it better to powder caot a frame and a arms or just paint them yourself i see alot of people powdercaoting them its really nice how much is it and hook me up with a site

 

nothing beats powdercoating. I think its amazing as far as durability goes, especially on a bike or quad.

 

Powdercoating will last longer than your motor will...lets leave it at that :YEAH

 

powdercoating is definetly the way to go. even though its a bit more expensive its worth it in the long run. if u paint it and a rock or somethin hits it, its gunna chip and start rustin underneath.

 

I've seen powder coating scratch fairly easily, and you can repaint or touch up your frame probably 10 times for the same price. Just my .02.

 

Look for my powdercoating posts. I just opened up my own shop in Mass. PC is way more durable than paint. I have an antique car which had it's frame and suspension PC'd 15 years ago by the previous owner and it still looks like it was done yesterday. No rust comes through, stays glossy, weather/scratch/chip resistant.

I don't doubt Warrior Jay that he's seen it scratch. It can and will, depending on the circumstances and the quality of the job that was done. Hitting a rock at 60MPH will probably take it off. Plus if it was done too thin, it can too. I can take a key to the stuff I've done and scratch away. Nothing will happen.

Just for example, I did an Edelbrock 302 high-rise intake for a guy. I didn't like the way it came out. Looked heavy in some areas, and orange peel. I tried glassbeading it at 125 PSI. No way, barely discolored it. Tried "heavy" black beauty instead of glass. Much more coarse. 125 psi, still nothing. I used 7, yes 7 coats of Airline stripper. Didn't work. I SOAKED it overnight in the stuff, still no way it was coming off. I ended up using black beauty on it for over 6 hours. Changed the "old" black beauty to newer stuff half way through. I finally got it off after about 8-10 hours of actually working on it. Come to find out it was just the cast underneath the powder that made it look kind of crappy. I lost money on the job, but felt better about it leaving my shop. I knew it wasn't my work that was crummy. The guy who owned it LOVED it anyways. He was thrilled.

Hope this helps. call my shop 508-759-2142 or www.capecodpowdercoating.com

I posted some pics up in the Reckless Methods forum on SL. I'll post a link to them next. Read through it, there may be a lot of questions you have that I answered on there.

Plus I guarantee my workmanship. No chipping or fading on my part. I can also "touch up" anything that needs it in the future, just like regular paint. In case you hit a rock or something like that, it can be fixed. I can coat over existing coats.

 

That's some NICE lookin' work, I wish somebody around my place would do that.
