xLastShotx Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hello, I am currently rebuilding my engine and I have decided that I am sick of my green frame. Rite now seems to be the perfect opportunity to re-paint it since the engine is off the frame. I know that I should powder coat it because powder coating is more durable, but I just don't have any spare money for that and I am pretty happy with how well my painted frame held up and looked. My plastics are silver and all of the other parts on my Banshee are either black or chrome. I want a color that will really draw some attention. My frame rite now looks relatively nice but it really doesn't stand out a whole lot and it is starting to show many scratches. What color do you guys think I should paint my frame? (Old picture of Banshee, It pretty much looks the same now minus the Engine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Bright orange :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I would say put some dough down on some pipes first How about a Silver Powdercoat or Glossy Black? P.s. PC is way less expensive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLastShotx Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was thinking down the line of a bright orange. Maybe with a lot of flake, It would really shine then:biggrin:. I think black and silver would look nice, but it just wouldn't pop enough. So far I have thought about Orange, Red, Blue, Yellow, Lime Green. If anyone has some pictures of some Banshee's with bright colored frames post them. P.s. Unless powder coating is less then $40 dollars it would be more, one of my good friends works at an auto body shop and he will paint it almost for free, I just got to by the colored paint he will supply primer and clear.

nunyabinness Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 i would say go with a lime green the same color as those flames on the shock covers. that frame would definitely stand out then. plus it would tie in those shock covers.

Ting Ting Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Here is my Yellow Frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlotzBanshee Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) Lime Green? :yucky: I say loose those ugly shock covers! just my .02 - flames are so played out, so is Alba. I think a deep metalic blue or red would look sweet, black shock covers, and some new pipes :thumbsup: ....But you can never go wrong with silver.

xLastShotx Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I haven't used the shock covers for a while now, I still like them though. I think I would probably get sick of the lime green frame. I am really leaning towards a high flake orange, blue, or red. Maybe even a fade from blue to red or orange to red.

majicmike Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 orange or purple to great colors orange and green go good together in my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Orange with a pearl flake or silver flake would look tight. Since you're getting it painted there's soooo many more options with flake and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalinIt Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I say neon orange. The silver, and black with the orange would look sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLastShotx Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) So far it seems as though orange is the favorite. I personally am leaning towards orange myself.. That orange with a pearl flake idea sounds like it will look good. It will be a couple of days before I paint it so I still have more time to decide. Keep the ideas coming!

okbeast Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Somethin along the lines of this orange: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d73/mx_racer_36/yfz4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
