A little help

[THE GRIM RIPPER]

Damn! That much!! ( obviously, thats what it costs for QUALITY)

 

Sure.... I am obviously still up in the air about what to do here. and I have no idea what shipping would be like. But what the hell, PM me some info :wallbash:

Yeah it may seem expensive but as I said that isnt the easiest job to do. Transparents take some time to get used to. Powder coated frames are much harder to strip. Multiple coats require more time in the oven. It all adds up. For single coats I know of guys who get anywhere between 200 to 400 for a frame. It kinda depends on the market in their area. Like most coaters,I will do anything that fits in my oven. For a panited frame to strip and single coat I go around 250. I dont do a ton of business through ATVs so I try to keep it reasonable. I have been busy doing lamps right now. We will see how long that lasts.

Damn guys I'm sorry, I just saw this thread...

 

You can tell that it was this guys first attempt at a candy... I can almost guarantee that he tried to just connect the ground and shoot the frame cold over the top of the original chrome base with a hobby gun that does not adjust voltage. That's why it's thicker and thinner in spots. He should have at least hot flocked if not stripped it bare and shot a new chrome base and then hotflocked the candy over that.

 

It's not a lost cause at this point necessarily (unless it's worse in person than I can see in the picture). It's still possible to hotflock it again and even it out (sometimes!).

 

Don't give up on the color that you want though, but those guys are correct, candies can be difficult. Do me a favor and take a look at the finish REALLY closely and tell me if you see "spider web" looking cracks in the candy and let me know.
