Frame refinishing
davecara:
I'm about to start my resto proper on the 400/4 I'm doing with my Dad.
Can anyone advise what the oe finish was on the frame? Ie paint/powder coat/stove enamel?
And, what would be best to replicate it? It's a budget but and bolt resto (if there is such a thing!) but I don't mind paying out for a great finish.
Any help or advice appreciated!

This is a great debate, I always powder my frames as they are used in all weathers. If going for a black frame, go for satin black as gloss looks too tarty and the satin is a good match.
Dave487:
I recently had mine powder coated black with a zinc chromate undercoat. It looks good and seems to be well attached.
£97 for frame and rear forks including sand blasting, which I thought was reasonable.
davecara:
£97 seems bloody brilliant seeing as Ive just had one quote back for frame and swingarm in satin for £175!

Not sure where you are mate but the company is Rugby Powdercoating, 19 Paynes La, Rugby CV21 2UH. I found them really helpful and they're fairly close to me.
