Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

next is the crank and then the 172 beuty haha

updates soon

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

i did on my old runner


worked quite well too

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

paint will only come out as good as the prep work,

id powdercoat if price isn't a issue

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

powdercoat cases? nonono, powdercoat is plastic based, will melt and look shitty

need heat resistant paint at the least

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

depends really, ive seen people who've had car parts powdercoated and its fucked, and thats not even case hot, guess it really depends on the quality of powdercoat, these days everyone will be skimping on quality, heat proof paint would be cheaper and will dissipate heat better either way.

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

but wont look as good or be as durable
