Still can do smaller stuff if it’s quick and already stripped, the smaller oven is on wheels. ---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ---------- > [@Quattro Krant](#): > > Not for fixie riding faggots We’re fixing your peugot.

> [@travisn](#): > > Wouldn’t be too much more for a dirt bike frame, no? It’d be around $130 for a dirt bike frame, from what I’ve seen of them they are about double the linear footage of a bmx bike and have more faraday (hard to get to) areas which make it more difficult to prep and coat. That’s something id have to judge from a picture of it to determine the price better. ---

That’s something id have to judge from a picture of it to determine the price better. yea that makes sense. But are you sure you meant faraday? I looked it up quickly and it had to do with induction not hard to get to areas… ---

Yes, faraday. It means tight areas with a lot of corners where powder will attract to closer things before it goes down into a hole or a crevice. Usually anything under a 1/2" gap becomes a faraday area. Google may give you some other definition but in powdercoating its referred to as what I just described.
