NitroViper Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I didn't cut any tabs or extra stuff off, I have the DNP pipes. I plan to do small things black like the foot pegs of course. Brackets, A arms and stuff. To me paint works good on frames. Powder coating is very hard and get's brittle. Paint will always have a more flexible, softer finish but that doesn't mean that its not durable. A rock can fly and hit your paint and it will only dent the paint. It may never chip or peel if you have prepped it properly. A rock can hit powder coat and chip it immediately because it is so brittle. Then your stuck with that chip unless you want to dab paint in it. With spray paint you can make it look perfect again with a tiny sand job and mist of paint. back to 100% You cant do that with powder coat. Thanks for the replies, it makes it all worth doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjdgriff Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 He has lost very minor amounts of pain on his aarms but nothing that noticeable and that's riding in the woods 75% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroViper Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 That's good to here. The paint really is a good color. Cant wait to see my new fenders on it. Hopefully Tuesday they will be here. I got it 85% back together today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
