Customs, BTW...

Been working on something a little different. I picked up a pair of Jupiter Factory Lites. They were the Polished Aluminum ones... but the coating was peeling, the ear socks were goners, arms were discolored, needed a good cleaning... so I stripped it down, cleaned it and sanded it down. Never used cerakote before, so decided to give that a try. I laid a base of black Cerakote (air dry C line) to the face plate, and then marblized it with some custom steel and blue Cerakote colors. The silver arms I gave a custom blue metallic clear coat to keep the carbon fiber look, but give em a custom color. I stripped and burnished the logos, and dropped in some Fuse Glacier Blue lenses to match the arms. Gonna make a mould for the ear socks, and make em steel blue to match the face plate.

would love some feedback on these...

Doesn’t look like I posted these... here’s some examples of some marbling I did a couple months ago.

So I have just started to dip my toe into cerakote. Without a dedicated oven, I have been using cerakote air dry. Results have been good. I posted pics of the Jury, and my Tin Cup Rx daily’s. They are holding up well under regular daily use.

I did these gascans this weekend... work in progress. Will post again when they are all done. just wondering if they should be clear coated? I didn’t clear coat the others, and all I read sounds like it doesn’t need it... wanted to hear from all of you.
