Title: Powder coat or Base/clear coat!
Post by: Inyourdraft2000 on November 29, 2006, 09:28:19 PM
I have my 400 ex stripped down to just the frame. I understand the pros' and cons of both options
but was curious from those who have already gone through this as to what kind of cost are involved
in having the frame and the A arms P-coated and or going w/ a Gloss black w/ a red metal flake mixed in w/ the clear coat. I am most likely going to spray it myself w/ my second option but depending
on the P-coat cost I may go w/ it instead.....Thanks again for any input!!! 8)

A friend of mine tried those colors and it gave it the Barney effect (Purple). I mixed a metallic black and pearl red together and I got this... It's paint but has held up pretty good since I did it (Almost a year ago)
