ONLY2STROKES Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 can someone tell me approximately how many lbs of powdercoat it will take to coat a ridged 90" WB ridged drag chassis? frame only, the bar and steering will be a different color. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 1lb or less. Always buy a little more than double what you need in case you screw it up and have to re-do it. Quote
ONLY2STROKES Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 wow i though it would take alot more. im having a shop my bud works at do it. he does not work in that dept. so he wasnt sure. they do not have custom colors on hand so i was going to get the powder. he told me at least 5lbs. not saying you arent right, but are you certain it will take no more than 2lbs?

So Cal Suspension Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 A lb of powder goes a LONG way... If he's doing the powder, do what he suggests, but I know I've done stock banshee frames with about half a pound. One pound of powder would cover about 60-70 square feet. Quote

fappy'97 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 Yup, I agree with Matt, under 1lb per color. If you're doing a primer, base, translucent, then clear, it would probably be a little over 3lbs.... Quote
Coupelx Posted January 8, 2013 Report Posted January 8, 2013 I did 4 wheels a valve cover and dozens of little brackets with a pound and ststill have some left Quote
