i saw this on BT before i love it how long did it take you?

[jdbnsn]

Nice makeover dude, very appealing color, wish it were mine.

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice colour. Duel 360mm rads, nice.

[x06jsp]

thanks guys

@ dont fear it took us a while because of various money problems etc but if there was no problems it took me a fewdays to mod then about a week for the powder and anodising to get fully done from delivery to delivery. so not long at all.

Josh

[DonT-FeaR]

yea wouldnt of thought it would of taken toooo long looks sweet tho

[The boy 4rm oz]

Yeah the anodizing and powder coating would have taken the longest.

[x06jsp]

thanks guys. :D

[Eclecticos]

Did you have it powdercoated, and anodized or did you do it yourself?
That color green looks really nice. Shouldn't have any problems with
the panels scratching the chassis with the powdercoat. +Rep

[dfigravity]

powdercoating is actually a fairly quick process...not sure about anodizing, but the problem that I ran into is not having cleaned the metal well enough. Any oils from your skin (fingerprints) can show right through the powdercoat. Your's looks fantastic bro...I agree with Eclecticos, that green is awesome!

[x06jsp]

Thanks guys yer i got it done by 2 of my suppliers.

and nah the powdercoat is nice and thick its brilliant quality in some ways i didnt want to send this off! lol

Josh

[DonT-FeaR]
