So I did my own custom Paint job!!
So i decided to go ahead and get rid of that standard KH blue on my trials uni. I decided to paint my frame Vermillian Orange. I wanted to do my paint job the right way so I decided to powdercoat the frame. The whole project involved chemically stripping the original blue powdercoat from the frame, preping the bare metal, applying the powdercoat, and finally curing the coat at 400degrees for about 20mins. In total the whole project took me about 3-4hours to complete. Hope you like it. I will probably be posting other powdercoat jobs in the future. -Click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.- Final product.

Nice! Looks really nice, although I would've kept the blue.

Yeah the lighting is kinda bad in the photos, but its bright orange. The oven i used was an old oven from a cafe. It used for powdercoat curing only now! lol -- Yobiker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yobiker's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15460 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/75164 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I also read you can do it w/ a toaster oven (if getting or storing a full oven is a problem), but I doubt you'd find one big enough for a frame. I think I read that agentQ PC'd his cranks several times w/ a cheap toaster oven. -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere.
