Honestly i mostly do street, but more recently i've wanted a larger muni. My frame has been laquered, the extra coat really keeps it durable and looking nicer too. |

Powder coat it! Unless you want multiple colors. There are a lot of different colors and finishes available now and it's a lot more durable than paint. I had mine done with the cranks for $20.

Sweet tutorial!
I painted mine the same color last year, but instead of the base coat I painted the raw metal. It still looks awesome though

I got mine done at a local place here in Columbia. Yes, you need to remove all the powder coat or paint prior to powder coating. I used aircraft paint remover I got from auto zone. The powder coater can remove it for you but it costs extra.

I put up a thread by the same title sometime this past year. Without powder coating, im finding it just scratches really bad anyhow.
however, this paintjob looks great, good job! |
