I figured out how to do it

and I can also make the heatsink look chrome if I want 2

Should I " Gold Plate " the heatsink

Is that hand polished? It looks nice

I would advise against that gold paint. I tried it on screws and it looks like poo. No gloss at all, its more yellow then gold iirc.

I haven't even polished it yet....this is like my " Rough Draft "

When I polish it....you guys will think it is chrome

The paint was a joke...ha ha...

When I do polish it....I will be using my " secret weapons " and employing the 20 years or more worth of knowledge I have in this department.

Here is some work I just got done doing on a MS-275 shroud. She is now about as clean as she can get.

2 bad she is heading home today......makes me want one

Here is step 1 on the shroud.....this is still unpolished, actually I have done quite the opposite of polishing it in this step

Nice shroud. Not yours? What have you done to it?

This is freshkryp69's shroud.

I cleaned all of the imperfections out of the paint.
( Which included removing permanent marker )

2 more heatsinks.....still unpolished

I wish I had enough M series amps to just "practice" on. Where do you guys get these heat sinks? Where they full amps? I think I need to make a withdrawal from Bill Gates bank account...

Damn man, those look like my nickel plated sink

very nice

These are from my 2125's....I have the boards out of them right now....doing some things to them and I thought I would show as I go along

Next I will show the before and after of when I clean the boards......still have not decided on a color yet.....thinking I will stick to white b/c I can't get different endplates for it

and Vin.....just WAIT until you see these things polished....you're going to flip

Triple Dipped Chrome won't have anything on the shine you will see here when I get done with the next step

Taking suggestions on colors to do these heatsinks

I haven't decided

Posted: **Thu May 21, 2009 4:58 am**

Sublime green, panther pink, banana yellow, plum crazy, hemi orange or tor-red

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2009 8:06 pm**

Well grey was real easy, doing white next....then moving on to crazy colors, anodized finishes, metal flake, chameleon....lots of fun

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2009 8:46 pm**

Looking good!

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2009 11:10 pm**

Spray paint can't stop a master

Especially when I can do all that stuff you were talking about in the M44 project thread

You still awake 2

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2009 11:51 pm**

and I would say that is DAMN GOOD for PRIMER

Just wait until you see what I do.......with paint....I'm deadly

Posted: **Sun May 24, 2009 11:56 pm**
