Post by: Michaelaphelan on February 13, 2015, 08:41:46 pm: I had just gotten my frame powder coated and it was done with Ral 5005 i am not sure how diffrent it is from the 5010 but it looks very close, and sweet ! I had asked the powder coater about getting a rattle can to match and was able to get it and he had said that it would hold up on the motor and cylinder just not the head . i hope he is right !

Don't paint cylinder or head with regular paint use heat temp.

I painted my engine with Krylon True Blue and its held up well.Just my .02

My frame was powdercoated with RAL5017 the first time around. I hated it. I was re-done in 5010 and looks great.

Take a look through my build pics. http://goo.gl/IZBRXZ

I may do my spindles this spring. Better yet anyone know where they could be powder coated to match?
