Painting Motocross Frame.

Right I have stripped my kx down for a re build and going to get the frame repainted. Question is whats best paintong or powder coating? I was thinking of using some hammerite through my paint gun as the finish doesnt have to be perfect.

Does anyone know of anywhere that could powercoat the frame local to cambridge?

powder plus mate on london road industrial estate mate thay are good used them loads of times

i had my thumpstar powder coated and found that it chipped really easy ,was a good finish thou

Yeah morley, boreley are engineers

note to self wirebrush attachment on the end of the angle grider for paint stripping hurts like f**k on your skin.

Morley Bros milton are very good at what they do.

If it were me I would enquire how much epoxy coating will cost,
it has a very similar finish but it is flexible and doesn't chip like powder coat does,
ideal on a crosser.

Worth the extra few quid.

Decided on what it would cost. I had some hammerite and my compressor few hours later.....












For the time it takes me to strip the bike down its easy enough to paint it every so often.

I phone cameras are really bad arnt they!
