Beautiful custom blocks. Perks of the job!

The acrylic are stock parts I painted. The Alu I machined myself.

Very crisp. I thought coloured acrylic had been used - wouldn't have guessed you'd painted them!

Beautiful job on those blocks

Some nice eye candy there

Radiators. I love 'em.

Never seen that before, what's the purpose of the risers? Or whatever are they? This is really something, amazing stuff!

Looks cool, like the fan covers. The standoffs make them look a bit more snazzy

Its just to make the rad a bit different.

And they are done.

Yum!

Now to get on with the S Frame itself.

The paint is LUMO yellow with a black based marble with silver overlay. 2k clear to finish.

Very pleased with how they came out!

LePhuronn · 23 Mar 2017 at 20:26

I've gone a little bit tingly...

Love that marble effect you get on the rads! Lumo was epic but this looks like it'll top it already!

Yeah looks great but I can't bring myself to use 2k paint. Think I'd instantly knacker my lungs. 1k is bad enough with reasonable extraction and normal paint respirator!

Im glad you mentioned this.

I dont use 2k paint at all unless its a clearcoat. 2k paint is toxic as it gets,the components of the hardener are bloody terrible and I do not recommend spraying this in an urban area with neighbours. I spray outside in a full Tyvek suit with a 3m 7500 something mask with the full on NBC filters,even then I should be using filtered airfed masks. Unless you have the right safety gear and an understanding of the consequences,dont spray 2K. I use 2K clear because it dries fast and hard and I can put much heavier coats on so im spraying for less time.

Our resident lens monkey and professional Serbian took some pics today.......

Thanks Atila.

Sweet pictures indeed.

Are you running 2 different revisions of the cards? The bottom card has 2 caps at the top of the board, the others have 3. I was admiring the symmetry and accurate replication of patterns when I noticed the mismatched number of caps.

When you're presented with work this immaculate the only things you can focus on are the tiny, tiny ones, and then you sound like a d**k for mentioning immaterial stuff you can't control

So many guys in the model car world don't bother. I can't understand. They just use a mini spray booth and a normal mask

Looks stunning so far

Brizzles · 25 Mar 2017 at 21:13

It would be rude not to marble the sli bridge aswell.

Stunning work

I PM'd you on FB regarding the painting of the Trident Z bars. Do you have any guide for this?

Thanks
