I am going to be painting the frame on my 350x. I was just wondering if there is a good type of paint to use or if anyone has any suggestions to help me paint this better.

 

Have it powder coated, it will last longer.

 

That is true powder coat is tough and really not that much money you have to make sure you are dealing with a good co. cuz i have heard of guys gettin ripped at this the shop says it's powder coat but really a spray can job w/ 8 coats of clear and you can't tell till it's all together and 1st ride it's full of dings. But there are a ton of places that won't do this only a few bad eggs. check out Easyriders mag there are quite a few places in P.A that do this. Also i have seen a buddy of mines frame done with that Rhino lining that is really trick and lots of colors.

 

Definately get it powder coated, it's the first thing that I do when I get new bikes/quads.

 

I agree with you on the powdercoating. It lasts a long time IF done right. But I also have had good luck with a urethane single stage automotive paint. I like Nason 2K. I have this on my 250R frame and looks great a year later. Plus you can match any color.
