My new Candy Kryton, FTW!!!

chipdouglas · 10-04-2011, 05:29 PM

Here are a couple pix of my new baby... it is a kryton groove that has been powder coated candy red with smoke color added. but underneath the powder coat grinder marks have been added to the length of the barrel to simulate flames. pictures don't do this beauty justice!!!!

thanks for looking
michael.

Rofl, that's one beautiful kryton!

lasersbee · 10-04-2011, 05:37 PM

I really like the colors/finish of that host....

InfinitusEquitas · 10-04-2011, 05:57 PM

LMFA! You took the whole "dilda" concept to a whole new level

(Joke

)

bobhaha · 10-04-2011, 06:04 PM

I think I just....

Awesome host... well worth the wait in my opinion.

chipdouglas · 10-04-2011, 06:10 PM

haha, glad you guys like it. it only cost $15 to get it done. the guy is around the corner from me... there are some problem areas. but only because i didn't specify areas to NOT be coated. but no worries, i can dremel those hidden areas.

michael.

AJ_Dual · 10-04-2011, 06:13 PM

FYI, you can powdercoat stuff yourself with tools from Harbor Freight etc. for as little as $70 for a spraygun/charger unit. (assuming you have a compressor) and powder is as little as $4 a pound.

Yours looks great!

It just inspired an idea actually. I wonder if it would be possible to roll mark or engrave diffraction grating type grooves for rainbow effects, or even holograms into polished aluminum, then protect it with clear powdercoat.

Imagine a host that was all hologram circuits and whatnot, like those cool Microsoft or Intel anti-counterfeiting stickers their stuff comes with.

I assume you mean the front aixiz lens thread? I can see that, that got anodized

chipdouglas · 10-04-2011, 06:39 PM

^^^ no the thread is good actually.... and the press fit part. but he coated the tail cap where i need contact to be... and he didn't coat in the rear of the tail cap.

michael.

bobhaha · 10-04-2011, 06:48 PM

Ahh.. Well as you said a dremel with a wire brush tool will fix that up for you.

Still love that host

lazeerer · 10-04-2011, 07:21 PM

This looks amazing. Great Choose in color. I really like the smoke Effect too.

i had this host done this color so i could put one of the new 635's in it!!!

Isoleucine · 10-05-2011, 12:50 AM

Man. Haven't seen a Kryton in a long while.

That finish... its unreasonably unreasonable. Nasty job well done,

viperx1101 · 10-05-2011, 03:29 AM

That does look quite nice, I like it!!!

Thats a Great Choose. It will match perfectly with one of those beasts in there.

I love those Hosts. Especial when they are done like this.

Paul0759 · 10-05-2011, 03:48 AM

That is totally sexual!

azzman372 · 10-05-2011, 04:02 AM

Man I love how it looks. I love the Krytons in general! Just finished doing the first round of polishing on my 532 kryton build

chipdouglas · 10-05-2011, 05:48 AM

If this is directed at me then click the link in my sig. Just updated 2 pics. Will take some better ones later hopefully.

Don't want to take too much focus away from this awesome fiery host!

Xtrm2Rick · 10-07-2011, 10:14 AM

that is some nice color you got on your kryton there!

o and please dont say your going to put a 445nm diode in there

a red beam from that host would look amazing

chipdouglas · 10-07-2011, 09:07 PM

@xtrm2rick..... Yep! Im going to put a maxed out 445... Jk lok. Im going to put one of theose new 635s! Ftw!

InfinitusEquitas · 10-07-2011, 09:11 PM

Considering the host... stick a 500mW 635 in there

FreeBee · 10-07-2011, 09:14 PM

It could be just me, but it looks like a bad red-over-black paintjob dude. Do you have any better pics?

chipdouglas · 10-07-2011, 09:33 PM

^^^... pix dont capture the great poweder coat job. And the scratched in flames. Both the black (smoke) and red are transparent.
