Title: Can't get no KX green
Post by: cyclegod on February 21, 2012, 09:35:08 pm

I have approached a whole bunch of powder coaters and none could get me a good enough green for my 89 KX125 frame, if you too have had this problem this was my solution...

Buy the powder yourself and get them to coat it for you cheaper  ;D

It looks a little washed out because of the flash but it is a perfect match to my new UFO plastics, 1lb did all these parts
and the frame.

Thanks for the link Cyclegod
I have been asking around for years trying to find this colour.
Re; the washed out look, were you able to compare it to original paint?

I kept my original sub frame which was damaged but had good original sections that were VERY close to the new powder coat (the powder looked better)

Only if your paying for the pro painter to do it, $$$/Hour too much for me.
