powder coating

[trailrunner]

I am rebuilding my 98 warrior. Is powder coating the frame worth the extra money over just painting it?

 

[ratmraptor]

Depends. If u take it to a paint shop to get it painted like a car with a clear coat you can get touch up paint and the paint is more flexible. Plus it scratches instead of chipping.

Powder is 10x better

I see your in MI. Talk to QC Coatings and get a quote. I have gotten all my stuff done there and they are easy on the wallet and great service

 

[trailrunner]

I will look them up thanks!

Spray paint isn't good but im telling you that if you get your frame painted like a car with a clear coat its better solely on the fact that you can get touch up paint.

Hmmm....... what about rhino liner on a frame?

 

[ratmraptor]

That's the best thing to do but it makes the bike about 10-20 pounds heavier. That's what I did to my swingarm and Grab bar. Looks cool too.

Sure would be tough. Rhino liner flexes nice so it doesnt just chip to hell and back. It a BIOTCH to get off if you ever want to in the future.

My neighbors kfx 400 is completely rhino lined except rims, handlebars, and plastics. Lots awesome.

Hmm, I picture a "Rhino Lined" quad to look really crappy? JMHO

for once i agree with you, kinda like people who camo everything it just looks trashy

 

[rappy'97]

Totally. I saw a quad with it on the plastic, possibly the ugliest plastics evar. Also agree on the camo. I would go through riding pants so fast from rubbing on the frame and plastics, stuffs like sandpaper.

 

[ratmraptor]

Well to get it "rhino lined" is different then getting herculiner or bed armor stuff. They all have a different texture and/ or color shade.

My worries would be what the heat from the engine would do, I could see it heating up and turning into a gooey, melted eye sore

 

[beastlywarrior228]

it shouldnt melt unless its like 2000 degrees f
