Author Topic: What color frame?????? Suzuki rm250... (Read 11950 times)

Dirt Addict · « **on:** February 23, 2013, 08:15:03 PM »

I'm looking for opinions on what color to go with. After having to rebuild my bottom end on the 05 rm250, I found a broken front engine mount. I'm getting it repaired tomorrow. I figure after having to strip down the frame for the other repairs I might as well get it powdercoated. I'm looking for ideas as to which color to go with? OEM? black? I'm not into yellow frames... Has anyone seen any other color used on a suzuki?
I want to get it done this week.

I think most very dark colors will work OK

how about either a very dark- midnight blue?
or a very dark, (almost black) red

Factory Rm,s where black, oem is kinda of a silver,gray, and black mix. I think blue looks the best for RM,s. Gusset-weld the lower frame around the linkage, Rm frames like to break in that area.

I painted the frame of my 04 RM with spray on bedliner. Everybody asks me where I got it powdercoated with a texture like that. It's a matte black with a very light texture, looks awesome, wears as good as powdercoat.

Have to agree. I think RM's look best in yellow and blue. That's probably a result of being a teen in the 80's and really getting into bikes at that time haha.

I have seen a few late model RM's done with retro blue frames and they look good.

hmm a midnight blue?
Beaner did you into any problems with the bedliner spray? Did you have to plug the holes or did the shop? How much $$ ?
How did it turn out? Was it sprayed everywhere?

..... and yes, laveneder would be my "go to" choice......

My RM I built 2 years ago.

It needed grips.
