I have a guy here in mass that is going to powdercoat my frame for me for $100 if I strip frame and supply the powder I want. He said he will put it on as thick as I want so I am going to do it a little extra . Powder can be purchased via eastwood powder the guy said it would take around 3 pounds of powder to paint frame I am going to use 4-5 pounds That will cost me 50 bucks and its any color I want and they have some cool ass colors. So in total I will spend 150 for a great job and if I am lazy and dont want to strip bike thats another 50 bucks but , i am stripping it :)

for 3 lbs of powder i can coat 15 bikes 3 times each. damn what the hell are you thinking. also with power the more you coat it the more brittle it becomes, so you might want to re think the whole thing. plus is he keeping the extra powder left over? if so you are buying him 5 lbs of powder and he might use 10 oz! just watching out for ya. 100 bucks is cheap , but you dont have to spend so much on powder! :rolleyes:

LOL dude I powdercoat all my small parts myself and he was guesstamating when he said 3 pounds of powder but , I know I could easily use 2 pounds on a frame you do understand that half the powder dont even stick to part right ???and the extra I am getting its cheaper for powder the more u buy I cant see how a thicker coat of powder coat would make it brittle ??? the only thing that makes powder coat brittle is over bake the parts or under bake. The guy also told me he would give back any extra because it was mine I also plan on watching it get done I wanted to see how they do it if there is anything I am missing :)

i PC too and i am telling you that you can coat a frame in less than 8oz. and the ticker you go it will become more brittle. i can get powder cheap too ;) anyways do what ya want i was just trying to help you out. and if you are spraying shit on the floor then your little hobby gun doesnt have enough volts :lol: spend the cash and get a good gun instead of the little hobby gun from eastwood ;)
