Inspire 1 Custom Paint Job...Maybe, lol...

[vic2rose]

So it has been raining a lot here in Texas. Can't fly. So I decided to try and custom color my Inspire 1 today. Here's a pic of the 1st skim coat. Hopefully it will work out well. Auto paint with etching primer for adhesion. I'll post when it's done. Yeah, I was lazy...didn't wanna take the top canopy off the gps mount or whatever, lol.

Finished body and batteries. Camera housing next. No photoshop. Just an iPhone shot.

Okay..... That looks very sleek! I think it's about time I tried my hand at painting mine. I was thinking of doing a carbon fibre dip, but can't seem to find a place to take my Inspire to here in the UK for that service.

Thanks! Hydrodipping is really cool. I live in Dallas, TX (US) and lots of car guys custom parts that way. I actually resto cars on the side and have done paint and body for a lot of years on the side. However, this is just a can of auto spray paint with an etching primer underneath so it doesn't flake or peel, etc. as easily. I think it will show up a little better in a light sky with the dark color. And what the hey, I like it, lol!
