Hello All,
I am resurrecting a cb500 four. I am going to take the frame to get sand blasted.
The price of that is $100. Originally it was $125 but I bargained.
The Price of Sand Blast and Powder Coat is $225
I am 21 and broke. I should be saving my money on other things but I really want to turn this into a cafe racer without gouging my pockets.. Is it worth the powder coating or could I just buy some primer and black spray paint?
I don't want to have to worry about the frame after this for a very long time.. and hopefully I can put the bike back together again..Maybe I could bargain to 200 for the job?
Let me know what you think. I have no problem just getting it sand blasted and putting on primer and such but I heard powder coating is "awesome" and Lasts longer.. but is it worth the price and I've also heard spray painting is still fine.. HELP lol
