So over the weekend i finally got time to get some stuff distmantled, stripped, coated and back together with the addition of a wing and tekno mount and some LED's on mine.

i like the lime green.looking good.what did you use to coat it with?

 

[Bkyd Basher]

Its Kawasaki green Powdercoat.Tough as nails, and the fuel does not affect it either.

I was thinking of painting my chassis too... ordered white rpm a arms. Thinking of dying them red and painting the chassis red with automotive paint because it will be a satin finish similar to anodising due to the lack of clear coat. Fuel may affect it tho...

I have to agree on the green/black rig :thumbup:

Thanks, ya they both came out great.. And i would really consider not painting the chassi as i dont think it will hold up very well. If u buy the powder i would gladley coat it for ya. I'm sure there is a satin finish or something similar to that affect. Check out Powderbythepound.com for examples of colors the have. I have even coated headers and resonators and the heat doesn't even effect the finish. Just something to think about.. http://www.powderbuythepound.com/AUSSIE-S_ANODIZED_RED_TRANSPARENT_-FLAT/

i wanted too cook cookies while i baked my powder coat.hey powder coated cookies...lol
also you can use ritz powder dye on any plastic part.but you can only go to a darker color.the white arms are grt-8 for the dye.just get a pot of boiling water drop in ur part.the longer you let it simmer the darker the part will be.ritz can be found @walmart for $1.50 a box.just don't do like i did and use your wifes cooking pot.kinda like the oven for powder coating.

I ordered white rpm a arms I plan to dye red. Hope they don't turn out pink.... I used to dye all my RC parts back in the 80"s. Usually turns out good...
