Frame - Sandblast & Powder

May 17 - May 21, 2012

When I ran out of stuff to take off I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with the frame.  Cheap part of me wanted to rattle can paint it, but I decided to have it sandblasted and powder coated.  I'm glad I did, the finish looks excellent.  Cost was $200 for the frame and swing arm, hurts considering i payed $75 for the whole bike.

Sandblasted frame ready for powder

Designed and cut out a spanner wrench at my work
Maybe went a little crazy on the grease there.


Powder coated frame


Also had the muffler sandblasted because it had layers upon layers of rust.  I primered and painted that myself with high temp paint, hope it holds up.
