What kind of paint are you guys using to paint crf50 frames and motor covers?? Somthing heat resistant, obviously. What do you do to prep the frame??







Thanks!

I got my frame, fork tubes, and swinger done for 140 I think.

It was only one color, I think for two colors is is like 160 or so for all of that. I think that is what I was quoted.

Spray paint is better on a 50 frame than a lot of people give it credit for. Its not like your boots/legs are rubbing on the tubes of the frame like a big bike. The only place it comes in contact with anything is where cables rub, and where roost hits the bottom most part of the frame.



Powdercoat is good, but in a situation where something is rubbing on it... it will not last much longer than paint. Powdercoat is near impossible to sandblast, but sands off relatively easy.



Ideally, powdercoat is the best choice. If you are just beating around the yard on the bike and not looking to impress any planet minis judges, then spray paint it and call it a day. Make sure you scuff up the stock paint to get rid of the shine. It should look flat like a primer before you spray it so the paint has something to stick to. After that give it a couple good coats and let it dry overnight before you touch it. Clear coat looks nice, and helps to protect the finish a little bit.

I used Ace brand spray paint in flat black... looked pretty good and held up great, pretty easy to touch up when I wanted it to look pretty.
