Adilogy Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi all, would like to know what's the differences between normal spraying paint and powder coated on frames?Also do i need to polish off the original color before putting on a new color? I am thinking of spraying frames with sliver color like pitbull or echo control. Anyone with experience on this? Thanks~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeoneNew Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) From what I understand powder coating is alot tougher. Theres a whole topic on spraying your frame in the trials chat FAQ! (i'll find the link in a bit). If your going for a silver colour you dont really need to spray your frame, just strip off the original paint and then polish it with autosol(or something similar) then lacquer it I think but you'd be best of checking the FAQ!!Edit: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=46301 should help a bit!!

_Owen. Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 power coating is a hell of alot tougher and harder to scratch, so therefore alot better for a trials frame. but like he said above if you only want it silver/chrome, then sand off your colour at the moment, and polish it up, should be chrome in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 get it sandblasted by someone then get it powder coated . look in the book for someone local - itll be dirt cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
