Building one badass Zilla motor

[quadzilla]

Here are the pics of the cases I just had coated to match the frame. Sore racing will be putting it together once I get it shipped out today. I was goning to coat the jug with the same color instead of polishing it. What do you think will look better

Hello,

If the frame and the cases are the same color (cool color by the way ) I think I would polish the jug to make it stand out a little, otherwise everything will be the same color (personally I like to have things stand out). If not polish then maybe a different color, match your plastics maybe?
Just a few thoughts, looks sweet so far! :p

What kinda paint did you use. I am looking to repaint my LT motor this winter and powdercoat everything else. Just want to make sure I get good paint so it don't chip off. By the way the color is sweet. Let me know please.

It is actually powdercoated on the cases. If you don't want chipping then you don't want paint. Paint will rub right off and scratch. Powdercoating is the way to go on an ATV because of how much abuse it will get. I can't remember the color name. But it does look sweet. I think if the cylinder gets powdercoated it will look fine because the cool head, powervalve cover, magneto cover, water pump cover are all going to be polished. Maybe do a darker shade if possible on the cylinder.

How did you keep the powdercoat out of the motor and only on the outside?

[Banshee]

They tape it off then spray the powder on it. Remove take. Then bake. That would be my guess but I'm not a powdercoater

Thanks Banshee. I was just curious for the project LT500CR. I am going to piss of the honda guys and paint it suzuki colors. Ha ha. Oh well. It will still be a bad ass quad.

That will be one sweet looking lower case for your quad and i think to polish the jug will make it stand out and look very cool, but that lower case color is sweet i like it a lot.

The powder color is Hammerthrow blue and it goes on 6x thicker that any paint. They first heat the metal so the pores open then they spray it and then they bake it in the oven. They test the powder once done by hitting it with a hammer. Is that impact resistant enough for you. The cool head, mag. cover,water pump and the exhaust valve cover will be polished. The kicker,shifter,and motor mounts will be chrome. I want to have the cool head stand out and if the jug is polished I think it may just blend in. I only have 3 days left to decide so what does everyone think powder or polish?

[suzuki LT250R]

I say powder the jug. All the other polished parts and chrome will break it up good. On your jug did you have to resleeve it or can they powder it with the sleeve in. I didn't know since it has to go into an oven. Just trying to get all the answers before I decide to do my motor. Thanks.
