Dinner Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 As said above PC holds up a lot better. I painted my frame from red to black with gloss black rust paint. With a layer of clear coat. It turned out pretty good i think. And is holding up better than i thought. Before: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 After researching I would have to say P Coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banshee364 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Seems like the better choice. I just had my frame and my wife's lt-250 frame PC'ed. Could not be happier. Looks sick and is tough as nails. It holds up way better than paint, and is thicker. It cost me about 120 per frame. Mine is done in gloss black and hers is blue with silver metallic clearcoat. It is well worth it. Plus, there is no prep work for you. You just tear down the bike, take in the frame, and they do all of the work. They sandblast it and then put it in a bake-off oven to clean all the oil out of the metal. Great process. I have pics if you want to see the finished product.
