Thunderwolf Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They use special mixed paint and the use electric baths to put it on while the 2nd part of that is true, the cooling heads of nitro engines are not painted, they are anodized, no different to the alloy parts on most car and on upgrades.

gumbo Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Do you have any idea how much it would cost to have it done?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This is a joke dont try it but what if. Powder coating it then thrashing it for an hour lol would that bake it on. I had a neighbor bring me a nitro engine that had been powder coated probably in the place that does it for jcb bcos it was a industrial finish and really thick. No way would it of been a runner lol.
