Rawing help??

(1/11) > >>

OllyHall:
Hey guys I've had a frame stripped (it was dipped) not blasted and there isn't that cool rainbow colouring around the welds is there any way off getting this to show up? I've heard that you can heat the welds with a blow torch but not sure? This is what it looks like,


I've not picked it up yet so havnt seen it close up yet any help will be cool thanks guys :daumenhoch:

You can achieve the blueing with any decent plumbers torch though there is the possibility of weakening the frame if it has been tempered. Personally i think it looks pretty gash when people try a home job as they tend to get carried away and the localised blueing that would be achieved from the actual welding of the frame is usually smaller than people imagine.

why not just pick a paint / powder colour that aint the usual boring black or white  :daumenhoch:

oldschoolace:
Here is one for reference

OllyHall:
How much heat will it need to do that? Will it need to glow red?

ED209:
leave it alone and go eat some more pies  :daumenhoch:
