shughes11 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I am doing a frame up build over this winter. Its going to be the whole 9; 10mil ported super serval with every bell and whistle from redline. I want to make this bike glow. Chrome and black seem to be included in my generated image of the finished result. While its apart its going to get some fresh PC. I'm leaning towards a black frame, spindles, and hubs. I have OCD with the cleanliness of my quad so I need something that's going to look great and easy to maintain. Anyone have a black and chrome bike? Or black PC in general? Tell me how you feel about it. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Anything dark colored will show scratches and shit more than a lighter color. Quote

Tell me how you feel about it.black and chrome is classic. If you want to put a twist to it, try black anodized bits. Or black anodized powder coated frame . Quote
shughes11 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Posted January 7, 2015 black anodized is more of a matte finish, correct? Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 The "anodized look" PC can go either way depending on top coat. Have you looked at prismatic powders website? Quote
possum Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 wants easy to keep clean, but wants the toughest color to keep clean. makes sense! Quote
sprinklerman Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 A bike is either clean or not....whatever color it is. Although I'd suspect a white frame would show any scratches / stains/surface rust the worst. Quote
Burke Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Powdercoat it whatever color it looks like it is when it's dirty Quote
shughes11 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Posted January 7, 2015 White looks good but its a pain maintaining it. I thought black because the 2 stroke oil spats won't be exposed. Quote
kawa110 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Strip it down to bare metal and powder coat it clear Quote
shughes11 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Posted January 8, 2015 I'll stick with black and chrome. Then some small white PC pieces here and there within the bike to throw an offset on it (handlebars, radiator hoses, plastic piece in front of the radiator, shit like that). I've never seen a scheme like that before. Quote
vrx46 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Silver vein. Looks dope and doesn't show any scratches or dirt at all Quote
