boarder8135 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Posted October 1, 2017 Really only go to sand areas when riding and wanting to do a "wet black" or very glossy look to frame. Has anyone else done this and how does it hold up to the sand? I hear with some people it starts to discolor since it almost gets sandblasted when riding or when the wind blows bad. The little stuff I don't mind getting redone but the frame is something I want to look good and last for a while without discoloring. Also anyone have pics of a textured black frame on theirs? I was told this looks good and lasts even better! Thanks Quote
ZillaFreak Posted October 2, 2017 Report Posted October 2, 2017 I have heard this too. I didn't ride sand enough to know, but a good powdercoat with a a clear might hold up. Quote
ginger Posted October 2, 2017 Report Posted October 2, 2017 it will prolly hold up well, but it wont stay glossy, the sand will turn it eventually into a matte black. Quote
boarder8135 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) so ended up dropping the stuff off today and went with a less textured than a BK147 powdercoat. Looks pretty cool in the sun and was told that stuff is really durable plus I think it will have my white powder stand out a little more can post pics when I get it all back in about a week if anyone is interested Edited October 2, 2017 by boarder8135 Quote
Canadianshee Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 Much darker in person. Colour is a chrome base with black and clear. Holding up well with different types of terrine.Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote

Canadianshee Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 It is called silver vein but shop used black instead. The clear coat makes it smooth but you can see the texture. Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote
boarder8135 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Posted October 3, 2017 gothca. Cool seeing something that looks good and isn't really seen on a daily basis with others Quote
Canadianshee Posted October 3, 2017 Report Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks I'm happy with it. Was hard to make final choice Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote

jlevasseur Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 yep, Gloss wet black starts to dul. The clear second stage they spray starts to lose its shine. I heard you can wax and buff it to bring it back but ive never done it. Quote
Canadianshee Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 I will have to give that a try when needed. Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk Quote
boarder8135 Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Posted November 19, 2017 well this is the finished product. That textured powder is suuuuuper tough and nice. Happy with how it turned out and cant wait to test it here in the next couple days! 1 Quote
