Message: [QUOTE="yz250roost, post: 758759, member: 20224"] Last year I did a complete tear down of my YZ 250 frame, I have a contact in the powdercoating industry and got the whole frame and subframe powdercoated black. Here's the thing with powdercoating as with most finishes, if you get the glossy finish it will show scratches, they are only surface scratches and that is what seperates regular paint from powdercoating, powdercoating is VERY hard to scratch to the metal. I don't run a skid plate yet and I've bottomed out a couple of times on the and the bottom frame rails only show scuffing whereas my painted frame showed down to bare metal. I like it and it is one off so I would not recommend many people powdercoat their frames black, because then my bike and this CRF wouldn't be trick anymore. [/QUOTE]
