WEBVTT

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

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:18.000
shop where I'm going to get the powder coating stripped uh from any parts that

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:23.800
are already powder coated and then I'm also going to be getting quotes on gold

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.320
plating the copperhead blocks as well as

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

00:00:28.599 --> 00:00:33.680
uh doing the EV GA classified card I'm

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:38.920
also going to have the powder coating stripped off the Appo HD hold down cuz

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

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.480
many little things I do at this point so I'm uh just bringing along everything

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

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:57.840
plating it is uh hold on what time is

00:00:54.320 --> 00:01:00.359
it 8:05 so they told me to come byy at

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

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

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.240
my tj07 parts uh so that's going to be

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

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

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:25.320
plating changed or upgraded on

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:27.759
um yeah so this will be interesting we're going to head inside as soon as

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:32.280
they as soon as they get here at around quarter after so I'm inside specialty

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

00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:41.520
hooks that they use to submerge these rods into the various tanks they've also

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:47.159
got a wide variety of different chemicals so uh this one right here was

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:52.240
pointed out this is the gold tank uh right here this one is the reverse

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:56.960
you're going to have to remind me sorry reverse elect this is the reverse

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:03.479
electrolysis for Chrome and then this guy is thetic soda tank costic soda tank

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.240
so thetic soda tank ah sodium hydroxide

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:08.280
can cause chemical burns it is really bad and you should not even get that

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

00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:18.120
going to be using essentially to strip the powder coating off of my case you

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.680
ready so this one right here is actually a sacrificial piece that we're throwing

00:02:19.959 --> 00:02:27.920
in the big tank just to show you guys what happens but um my case will

00:02:24.760 --> 00:02:30.760
actually be put in a smaller nonheated

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:36.400
tank because the metal actually can't handle the strain of the of the large

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:38.120
heated tank for uh for an extended

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.959
period of time that would be required to remove all the paint and grime and Gunk

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

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.200
external dirt yeah so any external dirt so for example after uh these guys are

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:55.840
made of okay I can't remember what these are

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

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

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.400
for nickel plating they use this tank for that as

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

00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:17.680
coating has remained but I actually painted the backs of these so you can

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:22.000
see the actual spray paint came off almost immediately in that solution so

00:03:20.760 --> 00:03:25.920
they're going to need some more time with the powdercoated parts and once

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

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:33.560
think this pretty much covers the uh the paint stripping portion of our video

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:37.280
don't forget to subscribe and thank you for watching actually I fig while I'm

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

00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:46.080
preparing for cleaning so uh I probably shouldn't be touching these they have a

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

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

00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:59.319
the gentleman here who's showing me around showed me the sulfuric acid tank

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

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:08.159
at the metal especially because I am using um particularly thin pieces of

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:12.159
metal designed for computer cases rather than you know Automotive or anything

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

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.519
product so these are those pieces that we looked at just now before but with

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.919
gold plating and these are polished right as well yeah these are polished as

00:04:22.440 --> 00:04:29.240
well so you can see the level of reflectiveness in these materials it

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:32.000
looks just outstanding so that's one of the reasons why I'm also thinking of

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.360
getting some gold plating done for the build to go with the Apple ghd limited

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:39.000
edition water block oh and he's bringing me over here

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

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

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:51.720
here well I don't want to wreck the packaging or anything but yeah you can

00:04:49.880 --> 00:04:54.400
see they actually do quite a bit of uh different plating work you can go to

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.199
their site just Google specialty plating so they're in North Vancouver it's a bit

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

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.479
and even though we didn't manage to to get it done they were very accommodating

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:08.639
throughout the whole process so here I am back again
