I was wondering how much it costs to powder coat a trx450r frame and a arms. How much did you guys pay and what area.

Costs are all over the board depending on where you are, shop you use, color, if primer is used, prep required, etc. And that’s all assuming you have everything prepped and sandblasted or chemically stripped. Moral is, it doesn’t matter too much what I pay, you’ll only know how much it’s going to cost by calling local shops in your area and asking them what the price is. I will say that it’s much better to take lots of pieces as the cost per piece generally goes way down. Also, you can’t powdercoat the stock a-arms.

Ok thanks. And why cant you powdercoat the stock a arms?

you cant coat the stock arms because you cant remove the ball joints, they are welded in.

i did mine in a dark metallic gray and feel i paid decent. $350 bucks. its not the best job imho either

CJM do you have any pics of your dark metallic gray? That is the color I have been leaning towards

So It Begins: 06 XC/Desert Build

Pics to follow: Some of you may recall that last year I went to Glamis. I got all of 10 mins or ride time and the valves met the piston and that was the end of a 4k Athena 490 build I did. We only reused the cam tower and just saved all the parts in a box in disgust since it tore up the cases...

Look up prismatic powders, they have applicator’s in every state i think. But very good work, quality, not cheap, but not thru the roof iether. You get what you pay for. Check out their gallery and colors. Wicked cool stuff.
