    Powdercoating a Honda 110 & 125 frame. A few ?'s

    If I have the frame already to go, as in freshly sandblasted, how much approx should I expect to pay for a PC job? It would just be the stock black color.

    When they prime it, is thet PC'ed too?

    I'm from Slatington PA..........anyone know a place close by that has reasonable prices? Anyone on HERE live close by and do PCing?

    Even if I had to ship it to you, it might still pay to do so, since the frame is so small, maybe?

    No primer required with powder.

    At the place I use out here I'd expect to pay fifty to sixty for a 110 frame.

    They put a current of electricity through the metal for the powder to stick. Then they cook it at around 400 degrees for a bit. The powder goes straight on the metal, no need to primer. I beleive no primer because the powder wont stick to the metal as well when theres already a coat of paint. Just make sure you get it to the coater soon, dont want rust to deal with.

    If its a good powder job, it shouldn't just "flake" and crack off.

    That's what I would think, the painter was most likely the one that was a bit "flaky".

    but don't deny that stock frames dont twist and flex somewhat.....

    powdercoatings are like epoxies, they won't flex and when applied to a flexible surface......they fail
