    yea the frame is next uNF hehawhaha... i think itll look sweet all done up. thats a 2 part coating there.. the chrome is shot first, then covered with translucent purple, to give it that *candy* effect.

    well, i learned by trial and error... i took the plunge, bought the equiptment, and went to town. It did NOT come over night, expecially with the 2 stage powders. You have to know when they are heated enough to shoot the next color on, and where to shoot first blahblahblah..

    If you would like a setup you can get one here

    www.eastwood.com I use there HOTCOAT PRO system, but started with the standard hotcoat gun.. both are great, just the pro system is SO much easier to change powders.. i can do it with the pro system in about 1 minute as opposed to nearly 10 minutes with the standard gun.. but of course, with that your going to pay alot more.

    Another thing that will greatly effect the overall look of the part is the type of powder you use. There a few different kinds, and most of the time they are NOT compatable with each other. So you have reactions.. I have found a supplier tho, that provides top quailty powders for a very resonable price. I used to use eastwoods powders until i found the place i use now, and i purchase exclusivly from them now. Sorry i cannot post a link to the place, i had to find the place on my own, and spend a ton of money to finally find powders i like, but it is out there and is one of the top suppliers for powders.

    If you would like to know specifics, you can search www.google.com
