Powder coat - 'chameleonization'

There is a God, and his name is Capital Powdercoating! I picked up the parts for the TPR project YFZ450R we chose to have powdercoated from Capital Powdercoating in Suffield (Portage County) Tuesday, and the color is simply amazing.

Capital Powdercoating, on Congress Lake Road in Suffield, Ohio, did an amazing job powder coating the ATV Four Play and DWT parts for the TPR project YFZ450R. Capital also did some miscellaneous brackets with a "shattered glass" coat that makes the parts sparkle in the sunlight.

Capital sponsored the build by coating the beadlock rings for our DWT Champion in a Box wheels, the ATV Four Play MGC MX A-arms and a few miscellaneous brackets, including the front engine mounts. The pictures here on the blog don't do the color justice. Twisting the parts in the sunlight makes them appear alive!

A close-up look at the ATV Four Play a-arms shows the "shattered glass" and cross fade from orange to blue. Below are the DWT beadlock wheels from their Champion in a Box kit.

One of the trickest aspects is the coat on the a-arms, which fades from ATV Four Play's orange to blue with a shattered glass coat that shimmers in the sun like the mid-day ocean. R.H., the owner of Capital Powdercoating, coined the term "chameleonization" to describe the custom powdercoat job.

The custom fade is available to all Capital Powdercoating customers, and its surprisingly affordable.

For the TPR project YFZ450R, we only opted to have a few parts powdercoated rather than strip the entire frame and engine cases and other parts. After all, this quad is going to be ridden, so we didn't want to go over the top like the Spyder Quad knowing the parts are going to get blasted by roost and the power washer.

The makings of a pro-level front end: Fox Float X Evol shocks, ATV Four Play MGC long-travel MX a-arms, DWT Rok N' Lok beadlock wheels and Maxxis Razr MX soft-compound tires.

Until Tuesday, I had been worried that perhaps the TPR project YFZ450R would look too plain, but this quad is sure to catch your eye. The colors are incredibly trick, and they're also going to stay looking good for a long time. Capital Powdercoating has been painting ATV parts for years, and their stuff is known to hold up.

Capital Powdercoating really gave our parts some shimmer and shine. This quad is guaranteed to attract attention.

The color combination featured on our parts is custom, but it's also available to the public. Capital Powdercoating can strip and powdercoat your parts for an incredibly low price. The custom colors are somewhat more expensive, but they offer an affordable method to grab the attention of a potential sponsor, and that's priceless.

The TPR project YFZ450R is nearly finished!
