I just took my whole quad apart, down to the frame. Nothing but the frame. You wouldn't belive how light It is. I know where most of the weight is now. Its in the rear axle, the rims, and The swingarms. If they lighten them up while retaining quality there will some really fast quads out there.... =) but now that Im down to the bare frame, im going to paint it. anyy suggestions? Its original color was Chevy engine orange (just a diffrent name.) but oh well! im open for suggestions. i have white plastic, and a black gas tank. so any suggestions?

Well I just done a LT250R Plastic was white, frame was white,front end was black with a flattening agent(I don't like gloss black on some things) front nose plastic was black, seat was black. It turned out looking pretty good! OOPS, engine was flat black too!!!

 

Havebanshee,
Your coments are childish and unconstructive, we would all be better off if you would quit the forum, people like you are unwanted and unwelcome. This of course is my opinion, but I am sure that the others will agree.

To the question, how about a specialty paint, theres a guy here who has his frame painted with that rock paint, it looks realy good, the base on the frame is black, then has white and three differant grays flaked over it. then clear coat to hold it in, his has held up well. Two others have there frames in neon, ones blue with purple plastic, the other is pink with white plastic they both look good, the blue looks best. good luck, and let us see what you do.
