Powdercoating vs SprayPaint
I guess this is what I needed to know too.
I was thinking of spraying my frame but wasn't sure if it would hold up, but is it possible to
put maybe 2 coats paint and 2 coats clear on to make it chip or ding resistant ?
Would that make it more durable from wear, I'm just as curious about this as anyone else.
The reason I wanted spray is because I wanted to be involved in my own project bike,
and to be in control of the process for every step.. if that makes sense to you guys.?
I must say this is a very interesting topic & conversation it gets an A - from me.

I just painted the back half of my frame using ford blue engine paint (spray can). Most auto parts stores have it (actually I got it at walmart now that I think about it). It went on nice and thick and is a nice bright blue. I used a rust converter first cause there were a number of rust spots on the frame.
Powder coating would be nice but I didn't want to tear down the whole quad for that. Also I didn't want to spend more than $4 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
On my trail only 4x4 I used a really heavy duty polyurethane paint by Dupont called Imron. I haven't had to wax the thing in almost 7 years. That paint is really tough stuff and only chips when I drag a fender across a rock while rockcrawling.

you can use spray paint and it can hold up good if you do it right. I spray painted the heelguards on my Z250 and they still look great! But i put on a whole can of primer and 2 whole cans of black after sanding it down really good. So think about it. But i would definitly go with powder coat

I wanted to powder coat mine but my budget was tight so I painted mine with engine enamel paint from the auto parts store. Looks nice and is holding up very well. Im glad I did paint it cuz later I had a few cracks that had to be welded. Now they are fixed I can just touch up with more paint.
