case cleaning again

Post by evilone »

This one is for bandit240. He sent me some case halves that "slept with the fishes" for awhile. Scooter was submerged in a pond or swamp for who knows how long. Pics are before and after glass-bead blast.

Awesome job on refinishing the case. How much do you charge to get this done?

Are You going to clear it, or paint it, or polishi it ?
Maybe powder coating.

Evilone, did you blast the trans cover too?

Probably one coat of clear and trans cover was not included so no.

I did a very quick pass over that area since it was dirty but i was careful, that area cleaned up alot easier than the rest.

That's incredible. I have a few cases that resemble the top set of pictures. What's the charge? I could stand to have a couple of spare motors on the shelf.
