If I have it powder coated it it will be olive drab, so the mud would just stay on fo a "camo" effect

its not a bad idea.it will give you a chance to go thro your buggy and fix any thing that it needs.and if you add up what it would cost to do a good rattle can job you could powder coat it a basic color and its fast drop it off pick it up the next day and start puttin it back togetter it will feel like it's new! if you rent a sand blaster and blast it your self.blaster rent is about $100.$50.for sand $250-$300 to powdercoat. |

Powdercoat the frame and as many parts you can. Paint does not compare or hold up near as well . For what it costs versus your time its a no brainer. |

Not to mention how much easier p/c is to clean. The mud wont stick to the powdercoat like it does rattle can paint. Larry |

Ok so i found a powder coater that can do it after the first of the year. So i will pull it down over the holidays and get it in the first week of Jan. What shade of green should i go with? i want a non reflective finish so i will be kind of stealth. Something that would be a base for mud so it will look "real world" camo when dirty  what do yall think? good or bad idea?
