ravenguard Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hi guy looking for ideas on what to use to put some colour back on my alloy parts There all stripped to silver but thinking on doing them orange Rather than replaceing all the parts can I dye them?

norcoforever Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Can you not prime them and spray them. Long as you use a good lacquer they shouldn't chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payney Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It's about the same price to get them powder coated mate iv spoken to mr m today and he's very cheap an knows his stuff drop him a pm!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenguard Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can on most parts. But the shell covers them,it a baja chassis. As it will scratch easy. If I get it powder coated will it be ok for bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Paint the chassis with engine enamel paint or good old hammerite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gymbal Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 If you spray ali you should really use an 'etch primer' first. Just in case you go down that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richie-rich Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I just sprayed a few alloy and steel bits on my marder. I etched primered them first then applied highbuild primer and then basecoat and 2coats of laquer then cured in a spray booth for 30mins at 60c. Can get you pics 2moz if you like mate? Just a thought mate if you want bits painted... You could send them to me, give me a colour code of the colour you want thenni will paint them in work for you. All for the price of postage and basecoat Edited March 5, 2012 by richie-rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
