yeah so i got into custom painting my vforce grillz from a thread and was wondering if i can get away with doing the same to my rotor seeing as it is a plastic composite. i just dont want to be penalized in tournaments and have to use my backup hopper i play mostly mxl/axbl







I used automotive 3M masking tape its lime green you can find it at any walmart or hardware store
Krylon Fusion Spray paint or Rustoleum all surface paint are the best because they bond well with plastic
I must give credit to Raion because i learned how to do this with my vforce grills and decided to make my hopper match them

[usedpaintballstuff]

dont paint it orange or yellow and you are good in PSP and CFOA.

[hicks31290]

yeah i looked up the colors and only orange/pink are banned so im going to avoid them and go ahead and paint it up and post pics

[livefast]

dont forget the pics lol ive been dying to paint my rotor, but I really wanna see one done

[hicks31290]

alright i did the base coat today im gonna spice it up tomorrow with some hand drawn stencils as soon as it dries and i get a clear coat on ill be sure to post pics up for you

[Phelps81]

HURRY UP!!! I Wanna see this!

[that ion owner]

me too.

[SGTspazzo]

Make sure you do 4-5 coats of the paint and then 3-4 coats of Clear. Otherwise it will come off really easy and scratch easy when you dive.

[hicks31290]

im using a plastic bonding base coat so it wont chip on me and no worries i got a clear gloss to put on when im all set

[hicks31290]

my apologies for the size and quality of the pictures my camera sucks

[livefast]

dude kinda too close up pics, but from what i see, ur rotor is now the definition of sexy

[aznigsta]

that looks friggin badass

[IGotAEpiphany]

resize please..

[IGotAEpiphany]

that is sick!

[livefast]

does it void the warranty??

[hicks31290]

i dont believe so i'm not physically altering the hopper at all like the rotor mods that people have been talking about

[that ion owner]

good job

[xWILHELMx]

that looks pretty amazing, i might try it.

[PAYNER_66]

so the Krylon Fusion bonds to the Rotor shell?

What about the color kit parts?

[hicks31290]

im not sure about the kits part bud i figured id leave that alone but they seem to be plastic so i dont see why they would not bond if you are going for one full color on the hopper

[iamdaspoon]

i was planning on doing purple shell and green accents.
