powder coating is NOT cheap........ and you take a chance when doing it to your frame in that if you ever have to weld it you are SOL.............
With proper painting techniques, and high quality paint, you can give your frame a nearly as durable finish as powder coating....of course not as great but pretty close for a lot cheaper......

what about car paint? ..the guy that painted the plastic on my trailblazer is a car painter, would it hold up really good? just use a lot of clearcoat?
anything else? im thinking if i get that warrior..have a yellow frame.</end quote></div>
Car paint would be OK. There is a place locally that powdercoats 4 wheeler frames for about $150. That's about as cheap as you will find. You could do some research and possibly find a place close to you that will does yours for a good price.
Not sure about what ss97 meant about having to weld after powdercoating. If you do have to weld, you just grind the powdercoat off and weld it, and then you can have it re-powdercoated or just spray paint the weld. But how often do you weld on a frame, especially a Warrior frame?

Black may not be the best fender color choice if you do aggressive trail riding. Black looks great when it's clean and/or new, but it looks BAD once it starts getting scratched up. I had a black CR250, a black Raptor 660, and a black Honda Accord, and after owning those 3, I'll never own ANY black motor vehicle again. They drove me crazy trying to keep them looking good - especially that damn 660. I bought it new and it looked horrible after about 4 rides. That's why I have a white quad now - fenders are scratched up and you can't even tell.
