1
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,719
got some parts loaded in the back of the car so we're on my way to the plating

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:18,000
shop where I'm going to get the powder coating stripped uh from any parts that

3
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:23,800
are already powder coated and then I'm also going to be getting quotes on gold

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,320
plating the copperhead blocks as well as

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:32,360
I'm going to get a quote on gold plating the top piece of the copperhead RAM or

6
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:33,680
uh doing the EV GA classified card I'm

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,920
also going to have the powder coating stripped off the Appo HD hold down cuz

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:43,200
it's a little bit scratched and the rate is the same pretty much no matter how

9
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,480
many little things I do at this point so I'm uh just bringing along everything

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:54,320
that I need and here we go off to North Vancouver so here I am at specialty

11
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:57,840
plating it is uh hold on what time is

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:00,359
it 8:05 so they told me to come byy at

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:05,040
around 8:15 and they'll show me the pred so obviously I'll want to get that on

14
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:10,880
the camera for you guys um that they're going to use to strip the paint off of

15
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,240
my tj07 parts uh so that's going to be

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,640
pretty cool and then another thing that we're also going to do while we're here

17
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:23,119
is uh get quotations on some of the parts that I may or may not get the

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:25,320
plating changed or upgraded on

19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:27,759
um yeah so this will be interesting we're going to head inside as soon as

20
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,280
they as soon as they get here at around quarter after so I'm inside specialty

21
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:36,759
plating now so we've got a bunch of cool stuff going on here these are the copper

22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:41,520
hooks that they use to submerge these rods into the various tanks they've also

23
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,159
got a wide variety of different chemicals so uh this one right here was

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:52,240
pointed out this is the gold tank uh right here this one is the reverse

25
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:56,960
you're going to have to remind me sorry reverse elect this is the reverse

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:03,479
electrolysis for Chrome and then this guy is thetic soda tank costic soda tank

27
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:05,240
so thetic soda tank ah sodium hydroxide

28
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:08,280
can cause chemical burns it is really bad and you should not even get that

29
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,840
close to it so I'm not going to be here for long guys but this is what we're

30
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:18,120
going to be using essentially to strip the powder coating off of my case you

31
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,680
ready so this one right here is actually a sacrificial piece that we're throwing

32
00:02:19,959 --> 00:02:27,920
in the big tank just to show you guys what happens but um my case will

33
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,760
actually be put in a smaller nonheated

34
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:36,400
tank because the metal actually can't handle the strain of the of the large

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,120
heated tank for uh for an extended

36
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,959
period of time that would be required to remove all the paint and grime and Gunk

37
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:47,920
so this tank they also use to you use wait you use this one to clean off any

38
00:02:45,239 --> 00:02:51,200
external dirt yeah so any external dirt so for example after uh these guys are

39
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:55,840
made of okay I can't remember what these are

40
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,760
made of but these are cast iron so what they're doing is they're polishing it up

41
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,400
and then you get a little bit of grime left on it so before they can put it in

42
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,400
for nickel plating they use this tank for that as

43
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:13,280
well so guys it was only in for about 30 seconds but you can see see the powder

44
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:17,680
coating has remained but I actually painted the backs of these so you can

45
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,000
see the actual spray paint came off almost immediately in that solution so

46
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,920
they're going to need some more time with the powdercoated parts and once

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,159
that's done I will be sending them off to Mountain mods for Powder Coating so I

48
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,560
think this pretty much covers the uh the paint stripping portion of our video

49
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:37,280
don't forget to subscribe and thank you for watching actually I fig while I'm

50
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:43,480
here I might as well show you guys some of the work that they do so I showed you these polished pieces here that we're

51
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,080
preparing for cleaning so uh I probably shouldn't be touching these they have a

52
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:49,879
dust cover on them so hopefully I'm not going to get in trouble but I want to

53
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:55,920
bring you guys over to where these have come out of the gold tank um also the uh

54
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,319
the gentleman here who's showing me around showed me the sulfuric acid tank

55
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:03,400
he said the reason they're not using that for my case is that it can eat away

56
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:08,159
at the metal especially because I am using um particularly thin pieces of

57
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:12,159
metal designed for computer cases rather than you know Automotive or anything

58
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:16,320
like that so let's come over here and have a look at a more of a finished

59
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,519
product so these are those pieces that we looked at just now before but with

60
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,919
gold plating and these are polished right as well yeah these are polished as

61
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:29,240
well so you can see the level of reflectiveness in these materials it

62
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,000
looks just outstanding so that's one of the reasons why I'm also thinking of

63
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,360
getting some gold plating done for the build to go with the Apple ghd limited

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,000
edition water block oh and he's bringing me over here

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,720
now too apparently there's even more good stuff there's also gold but you can't really see the gold because of the

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,560
lighting oh it's hard to see the yeah it's hard to see the gold but the light's better over

67
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,720
here well I don't want to wreck the packaging or anything but yeah you can

68
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,400
see they actually do quite a bit of uh different plating work you can go to

69
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,199
their site just Google specialty plating so they're in North Vancouver it's a bit

70
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,120
of a trek for me but I've dealt with these guys before on a previous project

71
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,479
and even though we didn't manage to to get it done they were very accommodating

72
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,639
throughout the whole process so here I am back again
