Need help choosing color for powdercoating!!!!

[yfz450rjunky]

Hey guys, I have a blue 2009 yfz450r and I'm getting a blue/white e-sticky graphics kit for it. what colors should i powdercoat to best match my plastics and graphics kit color scheme? I'm planning on powdercoating the frame, swingarm, a-arms, and hubs. thanks in advance!:) i attached a picture of the graphics kit:)

[yfz450rjunky]

I was thinking about powdercoating the frame a dark blue or matte black. looking forward to hearing your opinions! hoping to build a sweet@$$ looking quad!!!! :D

where did you find the best price for powdercoating? I have an X with a stock grey frame and I would like to get a color on it

[yfz450rjunky]

lol well i live in Central America, Belize and there is only one place in the whole country that does powder coating so i didn't have much of a option!:) he was charging me 50 U.S. $ for powder coating the complete frame no matter what color! can't complain!!:)

I think a yellow frame would look good! 50 bucks for a frame is cheap!

[yfz450rjunky]

yes it sure is cheap!!:) thinking about starting my own powdercoating while i'm at it:) yellow would look nice. maybe a candy yellow? not sure. what i had in mind was black frame,hubs and swing-arm, while doing the sprocket/brake disk hubs candy blue with other parts here and there blue:) what do you guys think? or would something else look better?:)

[alberta guy]

white, light purple and hot pink would look pretty nice.

[Haas33]

i think either black or white would look the best

[yfz450rjunky]

yah that sounds pretty good too!:) think i'll stick with a black frame with a couple things blue:) i'll post up pics after all is said and done!:)

Black is good, but $50 bucks!!!!! Good Luck!!!!

Is it a pain in the butt to take everything apart to get it powdercoated may think about doin it to mine if it ain't too much of a headache

If you have an r or x, be prepared to follow through! It took me two months to disassemble, label everything, powder everything, then put it back together. Efi bikes have a ton of shit to take apart!

i got an 08 yfz and it took me about 2 days because i only had 4 hrs a day but it was pretty simple and what i did was was black and i just bought hammered black from ace hardware but get 3 cans if yu go that way cus ur are going to wanna put 2 coats on atleast because of the way hammered comes out but it looks reali nice with a matte black but on the swing arm clean it up reali good and put 2 coats on and it turned out to be the best finish on the entire bike cus of the material the swing arm is made of but black is deffinatly the way to go o and also with the swing arm before i did anything to it i got a wire brush wheel for my drill and got as much as possible with that then soap n water then pressure washed but its best to take the swing arm off to paint to get full coverage but well worth the time if u want it to look nice all the way around

Id go with black or white and then put some color into the smaller parts. Here's a pic of mine in white/black right after I got the frame back
