Cool, that's the same size tubing that I'll be using. I'm coming from 1/2" tubing, so we'll see how well it works.

Is that from a spray can or an actual gun ?

looks good thats why im asking, and what brand ?

 

[mlee49]

Are those 140mm Xiggy's? Gotta love them still and while spinning.

Nice re-build man!

 

[jellyrole]

From can, applied after primer. I believe the brand is Velspar, sold at Lowe's.

Those are the 120mm.

Did you sand the case down ?

I'm getting ready to paint my stacker and i want to do it right the first time.

 

[jellyrole]

Yes, I sanded, blew it off with an air compressor, wiped it down with acetone, sprayed primer, and then painted. Time consuming..absolutely. Worth it..absolutely.

[Assassin48]

What color/where are you painting?

I'm thinking White/Black/a little red here and there

Going to paint in my back yard

 

[jellyrole]

Make sure to get it as high off the ground as possible. I've ignored this factor in the past..wind = dirt + bugs.
