What paint for the frame ?

Well, I haven’t stripped by bike down yet - maybe this weekend It'll be bare.

I was thinking of what kind of paint to use on the frame..

2 stage base/clear - car paint, use with a spray paint gun
Single stage enamel - car paint, spray paint gun
Aerosol spray can paint
Powder coat

What do u guys think will look best ? I'm afraid the base/clear will look too shiny. I'd go with powder coating but its too expensive. I do have a eastwood hotcoat powder coater, but I dont have a oven big enough or a infrared light

i used duplicolor high heat ceramic on mine

What price were you quoted for powder coating?.... im curious, i charge $250 for a finished product.

btchalice: did u think it was nessicary to have the high heat stuff ?

KzJim: I didnt get a quote.. cuz I know its gonna be too much.. So, you do powder coating ? I bet it's a pain to sandblast these frame thoughly.. or is there some kind of good dipping trick ?

Yes i have a small PC'ing biz, I have a guy that blasts my frames for $25. No hastle for me..
I charge $250 for a frame, any color. I sanded my 900 by hand the first time.. what a pain that was... i'll never touch another frame with a peice of sandpaper ever again. Sandblasting is well worth the $.

high heat probably wasnt nessecary but i liked the way it looks, semi flat
