Found a use for the old used up motors. Shelf Beautys!

I thought about Coating a head for the colder weather. Think it would work?

yup i have been powder coating everthing lately, get some practice in. Not very hard, worse part is stripping the parts. I powdercoated a header a while back to see if it would hold up, about 2 gallons later it was still glossy black.

Looks nice, are you using a home kit like Eastwood sells ?

Yup Easy as pie. Just need a deignated stove for it. I actually use a toaster oven, but not quite big enough. Lookin to expand. A bare part can be coated and in ur hand in like 20mins

These are some other thing i have been working on.Even coated turnbuckles,and all the servo linkages.Then i died the wheels orange also. Got 275 RTR for that truck and it went with with a custon orange and white pearl lid.

I wish more companies sold their parts and engines powder coated in several different colors, its hard to find a good engine that looks even better, even just selling different colored heat sinks would make them more money! I would jump all over a .21 OS TM for my jato that had a yellow heat sink and a jet black crankcase.

Well id coat it for ya with no gaurantee it wont over heat. I have a 2.5 that runs, i may strip it down and coat it and reassmble and try and run it.I know what ur saying though. I wish rpm sold every plastic part with the option to buy white dyable also.

I would think the powder coat would insulate the head, keeping it from cooling as well.

check out rosies powder coating.

They have a bunch of colors, candies, exhaust, and metallic colors.

winter running! I've already contemplated winterizing my Jato and DBX as well as my savage xx (work in progress) and just flying my F4U Corsair until march. Its getting chilly here!

I thought it had to be an infrared heater but it's literally been at least 10 years since I looked at them.

Do you have to clean out the holes for the screws after coating?

 

[sv250]

You put some trash screes or silicone plugs in the holes. They also have tape to mask off areas.

 

[Bkyd Basher]

ya but the tape sucks. In the orange and black motor i put screws in to keep it out of the threads figuring it would screw up the coating when i took the screws back out. But to my suprize they held up fine and i thought they looked good so i reused them.
