PROJECT NAME " SCARLET"

Scarlet (from the Persian säqirlāt) is a bright red color with a hue that is somewhat toward the orange. It is a pure chroma on the color wheel. It is redder than vermilion. Traditionally, scarlet is the color of flame. It may also refer to the color of the blood of a living person

Oooh, another TJ07 build! *subbed*

I am a bit worried about powdercoating the side grilles though. It fills quite good. Those holes are small enough as it is IMO.

 

[noahmateen1234]

Where are you going to mount your rads and pumps? What are the ones your using btw?

As far as the grilles go, yes. That's what I would do. Paint doesnt fill as much as powdercoating does and those vent-holes are small man.

Another thing you may consider(if you haven't already) is to plug every threaded hole you're going to use. The powdercoat get's hard as stone and it would be a PITA to clean up the threading afterwards. That stuff gets in everywhere.
Put a piece of masking tape or whatever in there before powder is applied.

Good luck on the build! I'll be following this one. Looove the TJ07.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant the holes, with threads, the ones you screw stuff into. With bolts.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

But I second your anodizing plan. A nice gold, smoke or brass anodized finish would look sweet.

going out today for Powder coating!!! thanks to artisan TDN1979 for accepting the project!

Gloss Red and Gloss Black color scheme

with peripherals coated with GOLD! <- thanks to kimosabi for the suggestion.

I hope our artisan do a good job!

 

[kimosabi]

Like the colorscheme man! Epic incoming!

Sorry I just now got to this thread. The powder, as long as it's not really thick, will flow out just fine on those grills. You would be surprised at just how small of a hole you can make with it. But, they will get a little smaller. There is a deal called a Farade cage effect where it won't let the charged powder in tight spots unless you know how to get it in there. This will help with keeping the holes open.

The screws are going to be done in a candy gold that will show the chrome of the heads really well. I will do what I can to make this look the best I can as I do with any job. I look forward to getting it and making this happen.
