Candy Painting a Frame

(1/3) > >>

AshimotoK0:
I inquired about candy painting my CD125A frame in red with a well known painter in the UK and he told me  £85 -> 120 depending on condition /amount of prep required. This surprised me somewhat cos I was kind of thinking more like 400  based on the cost of painting a tank in candy colour. I questioned if that was for paint or PC and it was deffo paint.

Anyone else got experience / prices to share.

I reckon the SS125/CD125A was the first Honda model  to use candy paint (not metallic). Anyone else cite an earlier Honda  example pre-1967?

JamesH:
Seriously?? That seems very cheap. Does that include primer and paint materials? Bite his hand off ash....

Mike on a bike:
My chop is busy undergoing painting right now. From sandblasted metal to primer, silver metalic undercoat with silver flake, topped off in blue candy. For frame, tank, rear mudguard, oil tank and mustang fuel tank, including filling frame welds etc. Grand total of 1k. Making my eyes water a bit but it will look stunning when finished. :)

Well his arm is a bit of a problem at the mo . He's got to go into hospital to sort it out..right in the middle of doing my 2 CB250K paint sets  :( :'(  Don't think price includes paint but i will check.

Had to break off the 500K0 project to strip the CD125A down and bead blast so I can get it in his queue. Shipping a frame to Menno would  be  very expensive .

Removing the air filter housing was a bitch.. almost needed Nurse Julies midwifery skills. looking good though finely bead blasted for paint. Proving to be a good buy.. never seen oil so clean in an import bike engine.
