Phoenix Gold Phorum

okay long story short

i have done some work for mike- First round came out as rejects due to contamination in my air lines-
SO i went through and changed all my filters, and upgraded the filter by PC unit...

So i will be shooting again this evening

Here is what i did before and while it (the embossing procedure) came out fantastic-
the disappointing factor was that there were some fish eyes (oil/water in lines) and caused it/them to be rejects-

SO i will be doing over again but with/as a candy black instead on this run...still with embossing

SHOULD LOOK KILLER WHEN FINISHED!

LOOKS GOOD !

Very nice! I like it.

me to!!!

yup and as we have been talking mike-
we'll go witrh the candy black
\and should be able to get the rest of the sand blasting done this eveing and start spraying powder/

any cool updates?

^ nothing as of yet- will do tonight though
blasted another 3 parts last night- new gun wasnt/isnt working quite as well as i had hoped- still does the job, but taking lil longer than i had expected it to- BUT i think i also have a resolve for the issue/concern- i think/feel the feed tube is too long causing too much resistance for the media on it's way up to/thru the gun- so i will cut apprx 10" off feed tube and see how that plays out...
BUT in either case i will get rest of parts blasted this evening and do the shoot- still have the ti cover to blast and then i think thats it

mhyde71 = great work as usual! Need I say more?

^^^ MHYDE is the bees knees!!! Looks unbelievable Matt, I cant wait till I have some play money too send your way with my gear.......GREAT JOB MENG

thanks for the pics today!! looking good

Nice work indeed!

OKAY SO STRIPPED OFF FRANKED COATING AND
NOW DID A CANDY BLACK
AND BEHOLD ARE PIC"S OF FINISHED PRODUCT

COUPLE FEW SLIGHT BLEMS HERE THERE- BUT OVERALL IT IS BANGIN' AND PROLLY THE BEST/NICEST LOOKING STUFF I've DONE SO FAR- w/ exception of some past franked stuff- BUT prolly explained by the fact that this run was/is the first run from after cleaning/changing out all my air filters last week.

SO anywho- with doing candy black
first you lay down your silver base coat - then i laid on the decal on top of the silver then did the candy black powder-
LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS- AND NOBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT- NOT EVEN CLOSE!

*picks jaw up off floor*

thanks!

They are just H O T ! ! ! ! !

Great job again Matt!

whats more is that given this is a "candy black" powder coating
in some of the pic's you can see that the texture to the coating makes it look just like candy- like a jolly rancher or something

when looking at them, some angles they look grape-ish, other angles look like licorice, or licorice flavored candy. and it's all good! real nice! unfortunately, as usual, the pic's just dont do them justice

So this means u got time for another 1000 sink now?

yeah think so- no prob

I have that already partially sand blasted-
Stripped last week, and blasted on top (the fins)- so it almost ready for powder

BUT would like to use it for a short short while- so i have place for pedi's 2500 boards - out of the surfboard b/c there are two boards in the surfboard i dont want to break apart if i can help it- and figured i would lay them in the 1K sink for the while it is out getting plated for pedi.

No problem Matt! No hurry here on my side! I have to get the two shrouds finished anyways

sounds good- WHAT COLOR DO YOU WANT ON IT JOERG?

I am hopeful to get pedi's to plating this week
we'll see how that goes- this job of mikes took lil longer than i had wanted- but i wanted it to be perfect (or as close as i could get to perfect) for him!

Kinda getting caught up now-
JUST have Itchys (the ms475)- pedi's, fuzzy's and cannones stuff now left "on the bench" for work left to do / get finished

I´m pretty sure u know my color Matt

you mean that "Austrian White"- right....?
