painting bike frames

[mk1nova_rich]

anyone ever painted one before or had one powdercoated?? (push bike)

want to know which is best and what sort of price i would be looking at?

I had a CR125 frame powder coated in White, £50

toying with the idea of building up another BMX lol but my last one cost too much so trying to work out if it will be cheaper to buy second hand and have it re-finished

I got mine coated as the paint would damage and chip to easy aswell as rub through very quickly around the peg area, looks great, next time I'm on the pc I'll stick up a pic ( I'm on the phone ATM )

i dont have pegs so not too much of an issue, just dont want it getting scratched too much when it gets dropped and so on

I use to love my old Raleigh Burner as a kid, always wanted the black and gold one but my parents could afford it so I got one of theses instead http://tinypic.com/evdehd.jpg

If it's a simple colour like black red White etc I'd coat it but that's just my opinion.

Southie I've got pb it just the pics are still on the pc :(
