Looks good man, nothing wrong with rattle can it will hold up fine.... I did my frame rattle can red and it lasted me years... Its not a show quad so who cares. Nice work. Nice color too

I didn't cut any tabs or extra stuff off, I have the DNP pipes. I plan to do small things black like the foot pegs of course. Brackets, A arms and stuff.

 

To me paint works good on frames. Powder coating is very hard and get's brittle. Paint will always have a more flexible, softer finish but that doesn't mean that its not durable. A rock can fly and hit your paint and it will only dent the paint. It may never chip or peel if you have prepped it properly. A rock can hit powder coat and chip it immediately because it is so brittle. Then your stuck with that chip unless you want to dab paint in it. With spray paint you can make it look perfect again with a tiny sand job and mist of paint. back to 100% You cant do that with powder coat.

 

Thanks for the replies, it makes it all worth doing

Damn dude that's the exact color my cousin did his frame with last year

[rjdgriff]

He has lost very minor amounts of pain on his aarms but nothing that noticeable and that's riding in the woods 75% of the time

That's good to here. The paint really is a good color. Cant wait to see my new fenders on it. Hopefully Tuesday they will be here. I got it 85% back together today.
