Posted this yesterday at YORF, due to the Enerjet content, but the response has been minimal. So I'm adding a thread here.
I'm planning some Enerjet builds, and thinking about the best way to get the chrome look for that band, as well as the silver look for the lower body tube.
Monokote Trim is NLA in chrome. I'm thinking vinyl wrap would be a good way to do the chrome look. Lots of options on Amazon and elsewhere.
I've been doing some builds with Monokote iron-on for the BT instead of paint. Much lighter and does add durability, scratch resistance, etc. Having the color protected under the durable clear film means it can drag across the playa and look like it did before, while the well-cured Acryli-Quik on the nose cone gets all scratched up. Kinda thinking about picking up one of the last available rolls of Monokote Aluminum. Waffling between that and just going with Tamiya aluminum spray paint.
Interested in any thoughts and experience.
