nothing is free in life...
you think someone is going to spend hours prepping and spend2-300 in materials and actually do a decent job ...you have another thing coming...
powdercoat will cost 2-400..depending on how many pieces you get done...
but good luck..

ya, i know it will be a good paint job. my dad works with painters, and powder coaters. like i said, thanks for the offer, but for 2700 i can buy a few new sets of plastics. im not even really worried about the painting of the plastics, its the stripping down to the frame that i really need someone to do.

Re: how hard is it to strip a bike down?
the paint and powder is on you, but if you're looking to have someone strip the bike and then put it back together, I can help you with that. I can have it to the bare frame in a couple hours (used to work at a MC salvage yard, lol) putting it back together would be a lil longer. It's always quicker taking things apart than it is putting it back together RIGHT, so the assembly always takes longer than dis-assembly.
I'm sure alot of people here would vouch for me, since you're a newbie here and don't know me from adam. PM me if you want. I try to keep buisness off the forum as much as possible.
