There's a lot of options for bodies. Inception designs has a few, a few people 3d peint bodies, you can take off the plastic and send the body out to get threaded for a feedneck and just run the aluminum breech and not bolt cap, you can cut the body, there's a lot of options.
…correct, imo it’s not worth the price. IMO if you going to spend inception $ then you might as well buy a 170/180r, or LV/CS. 3D printing was an option I was looking at but decided against it, maybe in the future. My comment was mostly in regards to PE not giving us many options… I think you have the black, and like 2 earth/ camo inspired ones and then the HK Army shrapnel or carbon which are still just black lol and the grips etc are just the same, black. This option was the most cost effective for me and the look I wanted 🤙🏽.
@@tavrinj PE should definitely offer a minimalist body and full colored kits. Not just accents. I get what you mean I just don't want people thinking there aren't a handful of options out there if they're new to pb and don't know inception. You're not wrong about the cost for inception stuff, I bought an fle 3 kit last night. 399.99, you could buy another 3m!
100% agree... appreciate you coming through to drop the knowledge! You look at its "competitor" (for electric anyway) the mini GS imo and it comes in a boatload of colorways and special designs and a "reasonable" cost for new/entry players. What kind of fle 3 kit colorway you get last night?
@@tavrinj Yeah the mini and axe do come in a ton of colors. I ordered the teal/pink one, I guess I got the last one cause it not on the website now haha
That looks great. Got some technical questions for you. What paint did you use, especially on the grips as they are a different material and more flexible? What paint and clear coat did you use? Curious about the durability of your process. But your workmanship is fantastic. Love the finished results.
1st thanks for the kind words… now let’s get to business. A - I used “folk art multi-surface” acrylic paint (Amazon). But you can use any acrylic paint, I chose this brand as they had the “metallic copper” look I like. B. Use any plastic primer from “rust-oleum”. I would suggest a white primer or clear (pending the color ur choosing to coat with. C. Top coat same brand, “rust-oleum”, I used the clear GLOSS. D. Tape well so you don’t have to do clean up work later. E. Use a syringe or toothpick to put the paint inside the rubber grips… F. I used an airbrush machine cause I wanted light passes & detailed work, but you can use a spray can (I’m just not good at lighter coats/passes). If you sand it down, primer/adhesion promoter, paint, coat then you should be good! Light coats/ passes.
I can’t do that big dawg… if I do upgrade it’ll be my spare/loaner to friends. I love this thing 😂. But if you buy something similar, get the spare parts & I’ll paint them for you for a small fee 🤙🏽.
@@theoriginaldashriprock two days worth… about 10+ games… 90° + weather… placed on wood, rubber, ground, canisters, etc (rec ball) little to no wear & tear on the paint. For now, my method appears to be working, but I also just take care of my items pre, during, post 🤷🏾♂️.
@@theoriginaldashriprock again, so far, so good… maybe I did just the right amount of sanding & promotor/adhesion before adding the paint. Don’t know what else to tell you bud, but it hasn’t failed yet, when it does - I’ll let you know 💙
