Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm looking into possibly getting my QT stem powder coated. I've already had it quoted and the quote seems reasonable. Here is a website linking to the colors I have available to me. I can't justify it untill like a birthday present or something, but I'd like opinions.http://www.figureengineering.com/ click on the "finish" submenu to see the colors applied to different objects.I'm leaning towards black, seafoam, or pink as those represent my personal tastes most.What'ya think? If you see a different color on the site feel free to nominate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyk Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'd go with black stem black base also. Black on black keeps the dust off baby LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjacksm Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Is powder coating your stem safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 yeah its safe I suppose. I looked it up online and it's heat safe. And if you look on the site the guy did the chrome black on his Mya pipe.the base is currently green but i might go buy a red one. I'm torn between getting black/cream as it will go with whatever color I want or going with my gut and getting pink or seafoam.Stuie I saw a vote for pink and knew it was you lol. Pink would look badass with the green base I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natgnat Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Those illusion colors at the end are pretty cool...I voted pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiLLooR Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I voted black. I think that would look really cool. Mind me asking how much the quote was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealsteak Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 the black chrome thing sounds pretty cool. however my few years of art courses taught us that complementary colors are very visually appealing. if you said you had a green base right now, an orange powder coating might look pretty BA. just my 2 cents and ofc pics when this thing is painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I was thinking about the orangish one too.Let's put it this way, I got the pipe for 20 bucks no shipping and having it done will put it at about the normal cost of a QT with shipping.

Pink would look badass with the green base I have.The only reason I asked is because when I use to be in Motorcross for quads we all use to be into powdercoating for frames and the A-arms for the quads. I know the process for it. I mean its a cool idea and yeah its pretty hard for powdercoating to chip but its still can chip. Powdercoating is done by a heating process in like a oven..Just giving you a tip, dont want you to become ill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JByer323 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Screw powder coating.I'd get either Cerakote or Duracoat, and do it yourself. They're both ceramic coatings, I've used both for coating firearms with fantastic effect. Duracoat has more and prettier colors, Cerakote is more durable.

Victim026 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I vote the BMW Blue he has with a black vase I might have to go and do it myself actually, mind sharing what the price quote on it was, on here or through pm is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 What is a qt stem made out of? because if it is aluminum you should get it anodized, it comes out a nicer finish than powdercoat, but if its steel than powdercoat is the only way i think.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 It's got a brass core which leads me to think it has a chrome finish, def not aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
