250F Thinking of powdercoating my frame

[snowflake]

Every winter I go through the bike, at this point, the frame is missing the factory paint in alot of areas.
So, I'm considering having it powdercoated, I have an aluminum subframe that I'm going to install this winter, so I'm thinking a light metallic silver
other options are
Blue
Black
White
so what say ye?

Pretty much. I just kinda got creative with Photoshop and did a bunch of different things on multiple bikes just for the fun.

I say blue frame, and black on the wheels, and other misc parts. Then get blue oil plugs, sprocket, and other small accents.

that would be another question, is there anybody on here that does powdercoating? although shipping a motorcycle frame would probably be an interesting ordeal.

Seriously, you should make some calls to a few local shops to see what the going prices are. Around here, going price would be around $250 for sandblasting and a single coat of powder. If you go with a silver, even the good outdoor silvers are fairly flat, so common practice is to add a clear to give some gloss, and add extra protection on top of the base coat. But, that's an exrtra $100, bumping the price for the total job to $350. I can do a little better, but shipping a frame, which is light but going to be a large box, so Im not sure what all that will cost.

PM sent.

i had a local guy say $250 for Blue frame/subframe, blue hubs and black wheels... that included sand blasting and powder blasting the engine. Everyone around here is really short on work though.
