What type of paint did you use??

 

[dustinwilt68]

I didn't use paint sir, I dip the plastics and had the cases powder coated.

Very Stealthy looking! Love it buddy!

 

[RalphK]

Yes, very sweet.
Looking to re-do the plastic on mine, what "dip" did you use?

 

[dustinwilt68]

Just some rit dye on the plastics

I hope you bring that one to the GTG. That's awesome looking.

My plan is to have it at the April 4 GTG, if I have to borrow parts from another saw I will. Oil pump and some runner grommets are holding me up right now, I hope to have it ported in time.

Batman saw?

 

[Johnmn]

Batman saw?

That's exactly what I was thinking

 

[dustinwilt68]

Just something I had in my head, it's dark in their sometimes

 

[legdelimber]

I wonder how practical it would be to mask off an area, to not be be colored by the dye? Something similar to how people apply the masking coatings to circuit boards when they etch them.
Logos or bat designs left in the original plastics color?

edit: die v dye. Always good to double check what word spellcheck inserts for your fumbling fingers.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I think the dye would bleed through from the sides as it penetrates the plastic. But I have never tried it.

 

[AlfA01]

There's a guy on here that did it. He masked off like 1/2" on the felling line on his 462 and it worked. I forgot his username though.

 

[Wolverine]

It didn’t bleed through my 136 top cover decal. See the orange behind it

When I did my Hybrid tank I tried to mask off the translucent fuel tank. The dye stayed crisp at the edges of the tape but bled at the seams so I think if you had a single layer decal it would work. I stuck the tank back in the dye and just made it all black.

 

[Wolverine]

Maybe smear silicone on the area you want to keep dye from?

The last week or so has been a real mfer. Spent days and days repairing fence from storm damage......

But.....I managed to get ten saws shipped out today.

On my bench at the moment.....

So...what's next? You know why I'm asking

 

[Mastermind]

I haven’t read all this thread, I could answer your question with a pic.
Then you would maybe ask me a few questions but yes the decal stopped the dye but as you can see it leaked in from the lower side Maybe a bit of sealer on t edge....??? But probably it was the sticker not fixed very well in the beginning
