I think a normal COLOR powder coating job with sandblast should be around be 300$-400$ .

Not to mention the weight it adds!

And the job still look good!
And gess what? the only reason to get the frame appart was to paint it
AwfulSmokey: let us know if you are happy with the results.
That's what i did on my frame 3 years ago : sanded with 180 and 360grit paper Wash primer / paint/ clearcoat.AwfulSmokey wrote:I'm the same way, especially with my Caddy. I am a high-end house painter by trade. I have used many a paint/coatings. The trick is like they said sand it really good on the edges. You can go as high as 400 grit if available. I would use some sort of rust-inhibitive/zinc-oxide primer. Then it's light coats. Better to do more thin coats than 1 heavy coat we will call a drip.
