Roger that! Had a feeling
.
There was a day when I was more partial to it as well. I’m back into a classic Olive Drab and Desert Sand-Coyote mode these day as you well know!
Meh…my 1/5 HP power Paasche Compressor is topping out 40 PSI. Seems I need more POWER

It's been a while but I used to use a similar setup. Between 15-20 psi was perfect for me. Many variables here. Are you thinning the paint ?Meh…my 1/5 HP power Paasche Compressor is topping out 40 PSI. Seems I need more POWER

This is not about painting Brother…but “stripping” paint. I am not a fan of caustic chemicals. So was hoping to more efficiently strip paint via sandblaster. I understand it’s possible but I think I need more power.
Reporting Officer Comment: to paint with Cerakote H (heat cured) it’s necessary to sandblast the part prior to painting. That’s also why I got the tool. Going to mess up a couple 40.00 Turbines after I get one more tool. A toaster oven with a 120 minute timer
For airbrush painting this ole Passche 1/5 HP is just fine.

I misunderstood. Definetly need more power....or patience !!This is not about painting Brother…but “stripping” paint. I am not a fan of caustic chemicals. So was hoping to more efficiently strip paint via sandblaster. I understand it’s possible but I think I need more power.

I am the first to admit…in the hobby arena…I ain’t got that kinda patience!
I clearly need the Binford 6000 Sandblaster
Reporting Officer Comment: I can 3D model, Woodwork, Photoshop, and Leather “Whatever”…but when it comes to post processing…Nope
Some of you “makers” out there will get this…ever work up a project for someone else, look at it and go…DANG…I might just need to keep this
May have to give some equal time with my own Oakleys and uniforms to the good ole Black OPS Blackout colorways.
Alrighty then! Seems I was kissed by a Muse last night around 0250 hours
A Leather Patch idea came to me in the middle of the night...you've heard of the "Fellowship of the Rings"? Very well then, I present to you....the "Brotherhood of the Oak!"
Felt like a fun esoteric leather patch idea. One of those…if you know, you know things. A round patch with a detail of the Oakley 80s Thermonuclear logo. I plan to put an OAKLEY rocker tab above it (otherwise it’s just an acorn) ...sounded fun to me anyway.
We shall see! The 3D printer is working away on the stamp as we speak. Hope to have a prototype done today.
So nobody buying into my “Brotherhood of the Oak” patch idea aye?
Well…prototypes have arrived. Black OPS (picture does not do the Black OPS version justice) and Natural Oiled Leather.
Need to do a full Oakley Black OPS Cap for myself with a matching pair of Cerakote Dark Carbon Valve 1.0s
