New powder coat buddy

[slowriderz]

Not a fresh bike find but a found friend in the powder coat business! This guy was super pumped to do my new custom frame and really gets into bikes in general.
Color is "LolliPop" red. 3 step process. brushed aluminum base powder, then red candy and then finish with a clear.
This image was a teaser he sent PRIOR to the clear. I am leaving to pick it up now and cannot wait to hold it in my hands.
Just had to share the pic he sent me.

Great Color. When can we see the whole frame?

Few weeks yet....

Hopefully he's a cheap friend. Powdercoating around here is devastatingly expensive.

Nice, that color pops.

He actually is very reasonable. He is also into old bikes and motorcycles so he is a great guy to chat with. I know that I will be working with him often for sure.

The guy that did my powder coat charged $175. That included frame, forks, fenders; guard; rack and tanks. 100 for frame and forks only.
