I saw this video a few days ago and thought it was a huge production project from one of the many workshops/companies I am subscribed to, but turns out it was you! You have done an amazing job already, and I cant wait for another update
This build is looking great man! I'm really curious how your hydro chroming ventures will be..justin makes it seem like its difficult to get right. He also has mentioned he applies a tinted color of clear coat on the inside before the chroming process. I have 2 of his visors and I can say on corners where the coating flaked off a little from cutting off the main sheet, it seems to me like it's clear coat with the chroming over it. Of course, both of his visors have proven to be very durable and visibility is perfect! I want to start making visors a little too, what are you making your bucks from?
Yeah I have no issues with my visors flaking by any means, just the last one I got from Branfuhr had a small flake from where he dremel wheel cut it off the sheet. So I of course studied this flake to learn the secret. Of course it is expensive he mentioned. He also did divulge he does some sort of a tinted colored clear coat on the inside to achieve whatever color he wants. Of course I know people have great luck with I-dye and chroming of their choice (alclad II). But nothing beats Justin's visibility. I totally agree with what your saying in terms of a clear coat not being durable to flexing and I've always wondered if it were true, but after studying this small flake and seeing that the petg spot if came off of, it was pretty much clear underneath that, it got me thinking. Once again, I have no issues with my Branfuhr visor, this was just a small spot that flaked up from where he cut it out with. I will say the petg had a slight dyed tint to it where the flake came off, but the color itself seemed to be in a clear coat on the inside that then has the hydro chroming over it of course. I figured, just worth a mention.. he also mentioned it took him 2 years to figure out the process. I've got 3 visors from him now including a custom silver one for an upcoming Kat reach build. I definitely want to start playing with visor chroming as well, just to add to my skill arsenal, not so much to sell.
Is your better half giving up on body building and losing an arm?
Haha you caught me! Well she definitely has been on a break from that from injury. And well she doesnt play halo, but she's a good sport and said she would wear armor! Halo is growing on her.. I caught her humming H2 music the other day..

Play "Heavy Price Paid" on loop, or "In Amber Clad" and you just have an urge to boot up the XBox. It's just human nature.Haha you caught me!

I’ll have a look at the file then get it ready.
Would it be best if I send you my email for this?Cheers
