Leave in metal finish?

Post by Christoffer Ahlfors »

Although I have researched a suitable prototype for my coming Tiger build, I am getting the feeling that it is sad to paint it over. :( If I do, it could just as well have been fiberglass - no one could tell - and I think the metal finish is so cool per se. Just look at the Armortek prototypes! :)

What are your thoughts?

I am thinking that a clear coat of lacquer would be appropriate to protect the metal from the elements. Maybe even two part automotive paint.

What a hard decision! :shock:

Cheers,

Hi Christoffer

The running proto types do look nice. In regards to knowing it's metal or not? Trust me, YOU WILL KNOW! :shock: :shock:

What ever your decision, enjoy the build. :D
Kind regards
Tim

One thing to consider if you leave it in be a r metal is corrosion. I would suggest you would need to at least clear coat it.

Enjoy
