Frame & swingarm blast and paint in Brisbane
« on: July 20, 2010, 07:45:58 pm »
Was quoted $450 today for a blast and paint of a frame and swingarm by a specialist motorcycle paint shop.  Thought it was daylight robbery so looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced VMX friendly blasting and painting services in Brisbane area.  Who's good and what did it cost?  Is powder coat any cheaper? Cheers Steve

I got my CZ frame, swing arm, engine mount and air box done in Beenleigh for $260. The frame already had powdercoat on it so it was hard to get off.

Was that for blasting and painting? Where did you get it done? Cheers

not a big fan of powder coating the black tends to fade to a grey,also if you do chip it it will hold moisture and will rust the frame.if black use kill rust,with the polyurethene,hard but has give and is easy for touch ups
