I love the uniform color you baked into this X6 :+1: looks really really nice, can you share the details on what you did to achieve that nice color, oven temp, time, prep, etc.
This thread is interesting but also reminds me that there are different tastes than mine. I really like quality aluminum anodizing on aluminum lights. Polishing on copper and steel lights.
But other methods like cerakote, tenifere or unique approach of artistic airbrushing could really add final touch to a modder light.
Thank AlexGT, I took all out apart baked 550F 30min or less keep on checking 10min or so, see the color that you want and take out the one you think is done maybe leave it longer some. The key is your eye :cowboy_hat_face: That light you have is beautiful! :+1:
First one Iāve done, I blowtorched an inexpensive LuxPro zoomie that I got a while ago from Loweās. It came out how I wanted with a gradient from burnt orange to black. Next up is a driver swap and possibly putting in a TIR lens instead of the aspheric.
Hey lads this is a stainless steel host from Kaidomain i sanded of the coating and polished it shiny. The light its self is standard set up 3amp Nanjg driver with a high CRI XPG2 on Noctigon board.
So if I want to take anodization off certain part of the flashlight I just use silicone grease (or please recommend proper adhesive) and then I apply it to every part except the one I want to remove (like anodized part with Chinglish logo on flashlight) and then I throw it to sodium hydroxide bath?
Lfatman pretty pleaseā¦ Does in your experience such procedure removes logo from aluminum, and how long it got to be immersed and what would be proper mix?
I never seen such modā¦ Very interesting indeed :+1:
