Refinished my Ti distros & DD10 w/ custom badges

When I saw stuartyp's custom carbon fiber Ti amps w/new badges, I knew I just had to have a set for my DD10.

So first and foremost, I want give a big thanks to member "stuartyp" for taking the time to help me aquire these new DD10 badges. Stuart is a great guy, and was extremely helpful!

I recieved the badges the other day (over seas flight) and I was blown away by the fit and finish! They look great in pics, but when you can see & feel these things in person, it's a whole other experience! They are absolutely stunning!!!

I wanted to refinish the distros and DD10 to match the ZPA's black/wrinkle finish. As an alternative to powder coating, I decided to try the old rattle can. I used VHT brand "Wrinkle Plus" and yet again, I was blown away how well the finish matched the ZPA... nearly perfect!! This stuff is fantastic. It's actually super strong and ran me a mere $9 to do all three pieces!! 8)

I may have the new badges gold plated... I'm still hashing it over :?

They were not cheap, but anything truly custom never is 8)

I would suggest contacting Stuart ( stuartyp ) via pm if you're interested in a set. Or perhaps he will pop in here sometime and disclose prices.

Thanks mate for the kind word's glad i could help... :wink:. One off's can be a bit expensive as you can imagine :shock: But i can talk him down if i can get a group buy of say 5-10 people looking stuff.. It doesnt have to be all dd10 stuff it can be other ti stuff.. He does all sorts of stuff. I will put up some pictures of other stuff.
For the badges that was got above came to £74 posted (hope you dont mind me saying mate) Yes it sounds expensive but they are so good. And one off.. I dont make anything on these i just enjoy the hobbie and helping out where i can...
