[screamningthrottlebanshee]

Hey guys, need some ideas,

 

When i bought the banshee it had a blue frame... still does and i want to powdercoat it a nicer color that goes with the rest of the bike, any ideas? leave it as is? i thought maybe just stock silver but im not sure...

I did mine satin black. Think it turned out pretty good.

be creative i say do a yellow vein or somethin... somethin that will stand out

but thats me

When my bike had the yellow/black thing going I had my frame silve.. And although I REALLY do dig the pics of the bike posted above.. I liked how "clean" the silver made it look.. I would look into something silver but maybe like said above, check out different "kinds" like the vein or somethin..

I think im going to lean towards getting it powdercoated silver but the local powdercoater wants $185 to do a silver with a clear coat... is that expensive?

 

Can you powder coat the front arms with the ball joints in them?

Hey, your bike and mine have the same colors. Here is how my Banshee looks like with the stock frame color.

i didnt kno powdercoating was given a clear coat

but a 185 is awesome i think

 

and i know ppl on here have coated there stock a-arms so!

Yeah i did some searching and i think im gonna paint the Front arms and powdercoat the rest.

 

They guy who i get to powdercoat is a good freind, I usually just get him to put a clear coat over top for extra durablity

you can powdercoat your stock a arms, but most of the time it will damage to teflon lining inside of the ball joint, and they will tend to be a little notchy. your best bet is to either chrome them or paint em with some good quality paint and plenty of coats of clear. On the other hand if you have aftermarket a arms, you can just remove the ball joints and powdercoat all you want. just my .02 cents, hope it helps. take it easy Mike.

I forgot to mention one of my banshees is yellow and black, I have a pic of it in the images section. it is under the topic my project shees or something like that. if that pic isnt good enough let me know and I can email some other ones I have of it. I actually built it for my son. later Mike.

metallic silver or gloss black. does $185 include sand blasting? if so thats a steal.

$185- blasted and powdercoated silver with a clear coat (rear swinger, steering stem and frame :biggrin: )

either gun metal, or powder coat chrome, seen the chrome powder coat and looks really nice, but never scene it on a banshee frame my.02

Black!

 

Dang, $185 for all that! I paid $400 for frame, wheels, pegs, kickstarter, jugs, and clutch cover...and the dude wasn't worth a shit at PCing.

black is good.
