Hey i'm getting my frame painted here soon. I'm looking for some opinions. I have the lsr silver vain swingarm and aarms, with those red/white/blue pep shocks. I was leaning towards black frame or red or maybe yellow.
What would you guys think, and does black look any good on a ex?

Black yellow YUCK red is cool blue looks cool, (I am getting my frame painted blue)white can look good on some quads but is hard to keep clean. DO what ya want but yellow would just be PUKE. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Personally i would go with black, and black 250r plastic with the k and k graphics. Just like lonestarbanshee's, you have an awsome bike.

My 400 has a black powder coaed frame and itlooks good. It stands out. everyone does red or yellow so i wanted to stand out a litlemore. i liek the look. i have no pics sorry. but i am saving cash fro black plastice and chroming as many things as possible.. just my 2 cents...

Thanks wantinga250R, I appreciate it.

300EXster, what color plastic do you have? I have decided to powdercoat my frame Candy Apple red this winter, and I'm looking forward to getting it done. I think that black looks sweet on ANY bike too. That silver vein looks pretty cool as well.

I'm trying to establish a pattern on my quad. I will be replacing the nerfs and front bumper this winter with AC pro pegs, and stadium bumper. Then, I probably will get some black Douglas wheels, with the red JL "Ideal Wheel" kit. I was going to go for HiPer Tech's carbon fibers, but I want 8x8's. Keep checking my site, hopefully it will look as good as it runs when I get it done.

Yeah, you would stand out, and you would have a sweet looking bike, but its alot more expensive to have parts chrome dipped, plus, it makes the metal weaker. You're looking at ALOT of money to do a whole quad frame. I was talking to a guy today, and he's taking his Harley Davidson frame to have it sandblasted, and will be powdercoated soon. I want to see how his turns out before I hand my frame over to those people.
