RexFuzzle Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Far as I know you need to sandblast it before you powdercoat and I'm guessing it'll cost around the same as a good spray job.The problem with painting a bike all nice and pretty is that you scared of riding it hard and falling. Rather go and enjoy yourself and at the end of the day who cares what the bike looks like as long as you having fun. Does it have the original paint or is it already a custom job or have the stickers just been taken off?

Agreed 100% the bike seems like it is original but no stickers but on the one side it's quite scratched and also the white has gone like beige from not being washed. It is becoming more clear that maybe I shouldnt spray it and just ride the crap out of it.
Tubehunter Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) For what it is worth and it's value, you would be p1ssing cash against the wall to make it pretty. Do a cheap matt black spray job yourself and ride it like you stole it! You will soon want to upgrade and if it's mildly lekka keep it, in case bikeless mates want to join you for a ride!
