step 3 powder gun ready to go

step 4 ready to start painting, see how the powder is turning to paint, this is because

i preheat the parts first at 180c for a nicer job :)

flaz it probs is but i've never done it, i think that when you see these two tone

frames, the manufacturer must send them off in large batches to a specialist

who then paints them in one run keeping them all consistant, ;)
