i have been going crazy trying to decide what color to powder my lower a-arms, swingarm and frame.....i already decided to ceramic or chrome the pipes, upper arms and maby the steering stem and im probally going to get the bumper, grab bar, muffler and nerfs black but i cant decide on the other stuff.....anyone got any ideas

 

I'm partial to candy blue, but a metallic orange on the frame, that's a different shade then the plastic would look kickass, and then maybe a blue bottom a-arm with a ceramic coated top arm......and the swinger in the blue....hope that will help you decide



edit...i see you already wanna ceramic the top arms

 

Just a suggestion, but looked at the hammered finish. I had it done to the rear end of my camaro, and it looks absolutely awesome. I got the black/silver hammered finish. It is speckled, kind of looks like silver and black sand mixed together. The best part is, if you kick up a rock or something, the chip or scratch that it might leave wont show up. I think that you can do it with any colors. Good luck,

Just as an FYI... they have several powder chromes now... the one my guy uses is hard to tell from real chrome... the dark translucent colors with gold metal flake look good...as do any / all the candy colors, as well as the web finishes... thw web finishes would have the same durability & camo effect the previously mentioned hammer finishes have... my guy is also using a new super durable clear coat that is really tough... it takes a gun with some good voltage to shoot a 2 layer color, ( like a candy or the chrome ) then throw a 3rd layer ( clear coat ) over the top...

I really like the look I'm doing this year, which is all the stock components under the plastic is flat black ( motor incuded ), & then I have powder coated several parts yellow, powder chrome, & candy red... & the brightly colored pieces just jump out of the flat black chassis...

 

i have been thinkin and i went to a powder place to see some color samples in person that i liked and i think im going to go with the metallic orange on the arms, swingarm and frame...and that will be sweet that its a diffirent color then the plastics......now all i have to do is decide when to start the tear down....ill probally wait till i pick up my kx125 so i got somthing to mess around with when the kota is getting powdered

 

Forgive my ignorance, how much does it cost to powder coat a frame and suspension arms?

 

I've seen prices anywhere from $125-250 on the frame and probley $40-100 on the arms

 

where did you see the price for 125 on the frame...thats a real good price, the quote i got was $220....

 

it used to be on a site...racingquads.com or somthing i can't find it though...if i do i'll PM ya it
