To powder coat the frame , swingarm and both wheels was only $250.. Which i think is cheap as.

And cheers for the headers phil, they worked a treat... Later kids..

I was going to say it sounded exxie - unless that includes blasting prior to powder coating

Yeah they came up lookin pretty good phil, cheers mate.

As for the powdercoat, they came up good, im 100 % happy with it. I wanted the satin finish, but you can also go for a gloss finish.. And for that price that included the blasting of all the parts..

Only negative is scrapping the powdercoat out of all the places you don't want it, like all the threads and bearing surfaces.. no biggy though..

mate of mine got some wheels done a while back and it was about $120 or so for both. Bearing that in mind the wheels, frame and swingarm all for $250 I thought was fairly reasonable - and isnt sand blasting part of what has to be done to make the powdercoat stick

Well i have finally done it. It is all in one piece again.. And i got it rego'd..WooHoo
I got a few pics to show..

Nice, and colour-coded to match the Torana too! Nice. I love the black frame.

Thats called learning the hard way even blocking up the holes with dud bolts & taping up the bearing surfaces, care is needed to cut around the edges to keep a real clean finish & not pull up the powdercoating from where you want it to be

Looks great, just had mine resprayed 6mnths ago in impulse blue and rims sprayed in black, looks similar to yours.
Also had the pillion handles removed and holes filled, looks much better than original blue.

Hey cheers everyone, im glad you like it.. Now i gotta go and put some miles on it. after i go get some new rubber for it..
