nfk Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I had a local guy powder coat my frame candy apple red. He plugged all the threads and bearing areas. He also said that the candy colors are a 3 step process. I don't know much about powder coat so I just took his word for it. He said there was base coat, color coat, and clear. It turned out pretty good so I guess he knew what he was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfk Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 how much did it cost to get the candy job done?? I sand blasted it myself, but the powder coat for the frame, all four hubs, the sprocket hub,and the brake hub was $200. Black would have been $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
