Lethaface Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Got my frame stripped, about to add gussets and reinforcements where needed. Looking for ideas and color schemes for my frame/A Arms etc. Any ideas??? Pics? First off what color are your plastics.. It's deffinatly hard to do anything new as pretty much everybody has touched every color combo in the spectrum.. Quote

It's deffinatly hard to do anything new as pretty much everybody has touched every color combo in the spectrum.. I'm not sure what plastics I will use, maybe white, maybe black...I'm just gonna kinda play them off of the frame color. I realize every color has been used, but I'm going for a different effect, not so much color. Maybe a couple different colors of marbilizer or running a wire wheel over the frame/arms and coming back with a green or blue candy. Maybe a combination of the two. I dunno, just lookin for ideas really. Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Posted September 14, 2007 You cant see it in the pic very well but yamaha's 2006 Limited Edition plastics have a little metalic flake in them. My fram is PCed Black Chrome with a PC Giltter Clear Coat. I built my banshee to look like an 06 LE with little differences. Quote

Think I'm going with solid laser yellow, then coming back with a green candy with some super green and yellow pearl mixed in it, or somthing along those lines. Somthing similar to anti freeze green.

Snopczynski Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) This is my friends 4 mill that I just put together. Its a candy blue powdercoat on top of near chrome powdercoat (frame). Plastics were custom painted by cp customs. Edited September 15, 2007 by Snopczynski Quote

I'm just not sure that the powder coat shops around here have the colors it would take to do somthing like that without breaking the bank to order the custom colors because I'd have to pay for a full bucket or bag or whatever the powder comes in on top of the labor. I'm going to use basecoat/clearcoat with some additives to make it more durable/scratch resistant and hope for the best....Probably get some frameguards and call it good. Quote
Snopczynski Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Most the shops around here carry the stuff. You use a near chrome or a silver flake, then do a candy color on top of it. Quote
okbeast Posted September 16, 2007 Report Posted September 16, 2007 Check out BigRed's, it was a neon green and candy blue components mixed. Quote

Thanks. You might do a search for BigRed350x His shee is candy blue frame. With Lime green A arms, and Swing arm. With white plastics. Kind of a love it or hate it look. I thought it looked wild. josh Quote

There is a shop right down the road from me that surprised me by most every color in the Eastman catalog on hand. Quote
