  1. Painted & Clear coated armor turned yellow. Case?

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    Posted

    Recently I purchased new crates for my armor from Home Depot, the black ones with yellow lids (cheap). After repainting and adding 2 layers of clear coat to my kit it was very white and glossy BUT. After it cured and was trooped in twice I stored the suit (except the helmet) in the crates...pull it out for rouge 1 and everything is an ugly shade of yellow while the helmet remained white. <br>

    I looked up "yellow armor" but all the threads I can find are regarding the plastic itself yellowing witch is not the case here<br>

    Could this be due to the totes? Any options besides full strip and repaint?

  6. How to bleach yellow armor back to white, anyone?

    in Tutorials, Tips and HOWTOs

    the paste goes a very long way..one batch can be stretched to do a lot of surface. I personaly used the other variant they list on the page but heres some proof..after one application to the r2 cooler

    (the coolers are quite large and one batch was plenty)

    its hard to see but it starts to pull the yellow out and takes a few time to really get all of it out..the white lines in the yellow is where the chimical started working..after your done just wipe the residue off and theres no negative effects

     

    also the r2 legs are wayyyy thinner than any armor out there..so I wouldnt worry about that..

    the "Tezza's Arrowroot Variant Recipe" is the one I used..make sure you microwave it until its a thick paste and let it cool before adding the oxy

    You mite want to try this stuff out..---------

    I'm using it on an R2 cooler restoration and have had great success. Be carefull though..after the mix is ready add the oxy and apply with a rag in a light coat then set in the sun all day..may take multiple treatings but it works

    Its used in restoring old computers..may want to try a test spot first just encase

  10. Is it right to hoard information?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    You have a point :rolleyes:

    But basically what I'm saying is that if one person strives to do every in and out on there armor they possibly can and know how things should be but have the fx body armor, should that deny them access to said information?

    just something to discuss no negativity here B)

    Why?

    Well , cause i think that hardcore infos like the real brand of the capehooks guys which wear a rubies helmet and a hasbro lightsaber not realy need to know , cause there standarts are very low.

    Or why should someone which wear a FX armor and FX helmet know how the real strapping system looks.

    Well..it doesn't matter him that his armor look in shape like garbage but he want to know the real strapping for more accuray.LOL.

     

     

    I have FX armor but a different helm and are still trying to get everything as cannon as I can down to the strapping eventually...

    Are you saying that If someone wears FX its ridiculous to make It as accurate as that kit can be?

    sure Id love new more accurate armor but I made the mistake years ago of getting FX before I knew more about the community but Its just not possible for me money wise..

    not to be rude or anything just wanted to ask..

    as for the hoarding info..I personaly think its up to the person who has the info whether or not they give it out in the end..
