a question on Mugen Formula head cover.

[hattech-v]

paint it with any color u want n then tabur pasir halus on it.. make sure before the paint get dry...

 

[Hikaru]

how to get the rough surface?? what paint to use??

mine is silky smooth like baby's butt.

That's actually called powder coating. Powder coating is a dry type of coating, which is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that, the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin." The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals, such as "white goods", aluminium extrusions, and automobile and motorcycle parts. Newer technologies allow other materials, such as MDF (medium-density fibreboard), to be powder coated using different methods.
The most common polymers used are polyester, polyester-epoxy (known as hybrid), straight epoxy and acrylics.
Production:

1. The polymer granules are mixed with hardner, pigments and other powder ingredients in a mixer
2. The mixture is heated in an extruder
3. The extruded mixture is rolled flat, cooled and broken into small chips
4. The chips are milled to make a fine powder

The most common way of applying the powder coating to metal objects is to spray the powder using an electrostatic gun, or Corona gun. The gun imparts a negative electric charge on the powder, which is then sprayed towards the object, which is grounded. The object is then heated, and the powder melts to form a hard coating. It is also common to heat the metal first and spray the powder onto the hot substrate. Preheating can help to achieve a more even finish but also opens the door to other problems, such as runs caused by excess powder. See the article "Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings"

Another type of gun is called a Tribo gun, which charges the powder by friction. In this case, the powder picks up a positive charge while rubbing along the sides of a Teflon tube inside the barrel of the gun. These charged powder particles then adhere to the grounded substrate. Using a Tribo gun requires a different formulation of powder than the more common Corona guns. Tribo guns are not subject to some of the problems associated with Corona guns, however, such as back ionization and the Faraday Cage Effect.
Another method of applying powder coating, called the Fluidised Bed method, is by heating the substrate and then dipping it into an aerated, powder-filled bed. The powder sticks and melts to the hot object. Further heating is usually required to finish curing the coating. This method is generally used when the desired thickness of coating is to exceed 300 micrometres.

hikaru u da man.

but thats very very in-depth.

phew.

 

[mrbear]

if i got 4000 also i wont spend money on MUGEN head cover.

recipe for spraying on DOHC VTEC cover for RED TYPE R or BLACK. is using "wrinkle spray/paint" .. i donno if here got. but overseas a lot.

use of "wrinkle spray/paint" .. when u spray on ur cover. when its dried.. u can see the paint turns into wrinkle.. as original as RED TYPE R cover n also Black top cover.

power coating n wrinkle spray might be different. but wrinkle spray is the recipe for spraying to red or black DOHC VTEC cover.

good luck of finding n trying.

* i would spend for RM600 for original OEM brand new H22A Type-S red cover. rather than buying RM4000 for MUGEN cover.

 

[hattech-v]

meor, u want to buy mugen headcover then want to spray it to black aaa? hehe

 

[Hikaru]

He sounds like that. kekeke....

 

[shiroitenshi]

I dunno about the wrinkle paint.. but for me the effect is dissimilar..

The original one is rough like sand, and more like powdercoating like hikaru said, except it's rough, unlike smooth powdercoating.

 

[akuma]

lightningfield,
whn lar u wanna sedar?toking abt RM4000 cam cover here n der?padahal teh tarik RM1 pun nak aku belanja...HAHAHHAHAHAHAH..kantoi..kantoi!dun marah me.ehhehehe

[hattech-v]

DIY the mugen headcover cannot aa meor?

 

[lightningfield]

can la wei but since mugen is copyrighted so it will become MOGEN. hahahah

MOGEN PAWER!!!!!!!

 

[hattech-v]

i u can diy i want tp order 1 unit.. kekekkeke

 

[shiroitenshi]

can la wei but since mugen is copyrighted so it will become MOGEN. hahahah
