Looks awesome. Alex does an amazing job and is a class act. Can't wait to see the finished product. He did my mm,mb,and afm parts and they are going to look amazing when the restores are done. I am actually sending him my bsd rails and legs this week

Looks cool. From what I have seen he does excellent work.

wow what else can i say!

Glad you are happy with them! That candy purple really pops. I can see why you wanted them done, looks like they should have been those colors from the start.

The side rails, lockdown, and legs should match

They look awesome! I wonder if the inverted ramp will scrape off any of the powder when inserting the wireforms in the holes. Mine were really tight.

Please post pics when you have it back together!

That's typical, even if you had re-chromed them. No biggie...easy to fix as you note.

They do look awesome. I'm becoming a big fan of powder coating!

I usually try to plug the holes on parts but on wireframes it doesn't make sense. Easy to open the hole up if need be but there is always extra clearance because they are either machine screws that require nuts and don't screw into the wire forms themselves (ie the trail holes aren't threaded) or are rivets.

Those do look great

God I wish I had the money to get Rollergames done...

nice work Alex, thanks for sharing pics fattrain

Wow! Looks awesome!

Thanks! See you soon at deaths's house!

Looks great as always nice work Alex.

Fattrain nice lookin TFTC you have there.

I think it would look even better with mirror blades or some type of custom side art.

Wireforms look great.

Sounds kinda creepy doesn't it, LOL.

Nice work Alex, might have to ask to put you on the payroll for a few of my own if you don't mind.

Mike

Mike,

Absolutely no problem. You can even come to the shop and watch it get done

Alex,

That would be awesome. Do you have the Blood Red that they use for BSD or can you obtain it?

Mike

Fattrain those look so awesome! Can't wait to get my LOTR done in Brass.

Hey Alex any chance that you are getting caught up and might be able to fit my LOTR in to the schedule?
Please send a PM and give me an update.
Thanks.

Dannng those look good and then even better in the game! Very nice match

Tek,

I'm not doing plating anymore just powder However most LOTR i'm getting now believe it or not are in gloss bronze.. and it looks STELLAR! I would go that route more than brass/gold. Looks too "Stock"

Mike,

I am placing an order for "Oxblood hues" in a few days. Another pinsider is sending me all his BSD parts to plate them in blood/coagulant red

When I powder the pieces if he is cool with it I'll let you peek at them before i ship them back. He generally reads my posts so he can either respond or PM me/you

Nice job on fattrains wireforms Alex....I never heard back from you so I have a local guy powdering my IJ parts.....keep up the great work, those things look awesome.

I'd love to have some work done in the near future.

Loren,

I did reply. Did you not get it?

Nope....waited over a month after I sent more pics with the details you asked for....no biggie. I hope the local guy can keep up the level of work you have shown.

I will head over to fattrain's house and check the forms out but from what I have seen in the pictures I like the work a lot.
The next pin I restore (if I restore) I will get a hold of you.

Wow now im upset. I hope it didn't get caught in a spam filter. I got your pics to my gmail and responded from there. Shit. Train has my cell. Get me on that when you need something going forward.

Like I said....No biggie.

I'm waiting on a response as well. Whenever you get time.

Alex, yea that's what I was looking for that glossy gold/brass/bronze(whatever ) 2 tone Powder Coating that you mentioned in your Price Thread.

Send me a PM if you can and let me know when/cost/details etc. I just finished the Shop Job so it is just waiting for that final touch.

Edit: you called it Transparent Brass in the pricing thread. But anything similar is fine.

Transparent brass is off the table. I did some experimentation and it doesn't shine enough. It must have been photo magic on prismatics site but I put 6 coats (not what you would normally do under any circumstances) and it still wasn't that shiny.

I've been doing gloss bronze which is actually a metallic. Goto www.prismaticpowders.com and choose a color

Alex, I was going to PM you, but figure this is worth asking you here. I have Ms Pac Man Midway Coin door as well as some other metal pieces from the machine like the rear wheel housings. Is this something you do (Or at least the coin door)?

Thanks and I apologize for jumping on the thread but figure it is worth asking if others are looking for this stuff too.

What are you looking to do? Just powder them? If its metal ill powder it for you.

Yes, all metal stuff. Will send you a PM. Thanks.

Hey Alex,

What color are you using from Prismaticpowders for a brass look? For an Indiana Jones.

Thanks

A shame about the transparent brass, the photos of it looked so good.
Hmm, didn't see a gloss bronze only transparent bronze on Prismaticpowders site and that looks a bit dark in the photos. Got any better photos of something done by you in that?
