I have just used a frosted clear coat and sprayed them after a light sand. It works well and it's not uneven. It also protects the tube from future scratches. I've also done this with gloss clear on tubes that were somewhat scratched from the factory. Sand it down, clear coat, wait for drytime, new super glossy tube.

@bittech1
@bittech1 5 лет назад
Before we finished up filming I did actually have a go with some borosilicate glass I had to hand, no effect sadly. You could maybe do it by using a rougher grit and just spending time on it though, I might give it another try to see what’s possible. I haven’t tried the paint, but frankly I wouldn’t bother since this method is so simple. I know from doing windows that the paint can often peel off easily, so iit might get marked up by the fitting collars etc

@fawkyooo7377
@fawkyooo7377 3 года назад
So question... does this not change the tube diameter? I would prefer to use a branded tube from say corsair because the final dimension of the tube should be exactly what is needed for a secure seal to prevent leaking.
@bittech1
@bittech1 3 года назад
It does *technically* but it’s by some insanely small degree, any change would be well within the manufacturing tolerance of the tube. That said, just buy the frosted one to begin with. This tutorial Pre-dates a lot of the tubes on the market now.
@HMarcBower
@HMarcBower 3 года назад
I know the video is a couple years old now, but still very relevant to me as I'm looking at doing this now, so thank you. :) What I also wanted to try was to have a completely clear "window" running the length of the tube as well (so satin finish for 90% of the circumference, and clear 5mm or so strip on the side facing out). I am wondering if running a couple of long strips of tape parallel along the tube and hitting it with a polishing pad would be enough to clear the satin look without melting the acrylic.
