Having a frame painted color would be cheaper than buying 10 pounds of a 'special/custom' blended powder and then having the powder applied.

Officially I ahme helpless... the thing is that in my ome country there is no great demand for powder coating and my friend does know 1 guy that used to do it but was selling the equipment due to the situation. Well what would you think about those little Powder Coating kits available at ebay or amazon?

How are you going to bake it if you buy a home kit?
...and what do you mean by 'oven paint'?

Ahhh...
I don't bake anything.
Maybe a quick hit with an IR lamp, but my stuff is all air dry.
It will work on any size part if you can handle it properly on its way into the oven.

Oven paint?
Powder on a frame is the way to go...
unless you can't get the color you want in powder.
Painting a frame is time consuming, difficult, and more costly.
depends on how you get it painted and where
pick a common car colour that your local car paint shop would do regularly
get your frame sandblasted and they can paint it while they are doing the common car colour
its cheap because they are already in the booth with the paint in the gun , so not much extra time
and effort is required
as a bonus its always easy to touch up knowing the common car colour
extra bonus is painter usually works for cash on these sorts of jobs

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

What about primer, and filling the blast profile?
The undercoats a painter will have in the booth when finish painting a car are not ideal for undercoats.
I guess it depends on what the customer is looking for.

He used a stud welder.
However bad the POR seems...do it. You'll hate yourself if you don't. I don't like the radiator shop process. It doesn't deal with adhesion/rust.
Hey DP,
Sorry if this isn't an appropriate topic to post on this thread. Feel free to let me know if I should direct it elsewhere.
I took your advice and bought some POR. I'm planning to do the coating next weekend. Any tips on the process (other than follow the directions to a "T")? What you recommend for plugging up all the holes, especially the filler hole?
I was wondering if I could use some latex with rubber bands or something. I am assuming that the coating isn't thick enough to clog up some of the smaller holes?

I use a #10 rubber stopper for the filler.
Tape will work for the sender.
Don't worry about the small tubes.
Is your tank a carby or injected?

You'll need something to block the fuel outlet.
