alan_k Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Love the pink macey, you must know how to get in touch with your feminine side Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macey2kk Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Why pink? Cos we all know what girls like!! It's the fanny magnet of the Paramotor world! Lol Pity you don't get many girls in the sport! I know, the block needs polishing but I was advised against it by Parajet whilst it's still in warranty... After that it's going straight off! Yes meds,,, it will be at the fly in... Look forward to it!! Just wait till my carbon tank arrives... Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzo200500 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Aqua blasting on those engine cases would look stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Looks nice for a little while but it leaves the pores and dimples in the metal so is a bitch to keep clean. Polishing is a pain in the arse to do ( unless you send it to someone else of course ) but easy to keep clean once done. Every bike I ever built had everything that could be polished polished by hand, wheels, frame, swingarm, nuts, bolts, foot pegs, nitrous bottle, and so on........ even the seat key hole and all washers were polished! lol. What I learned from this was, send it away to someone else! People who polish all the time, get very very good at it and can make it happen in much less time. I still have a few contacts in the Streetfighters world who I can put you in touch with if you want a show bike finish. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo200500 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 All the aqua blasting i've had done has left a satin finish on the ally cases. Spray with oil and jobs a goodun! Sand blasting would leave a rougher surface for all the muck to stick onto! Or, what about soda blasting. Very gentle and the crystals dissolve, unlike glass beads.

phil1975 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Engine? Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenScoobert Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I know I've awoken an old thread but can someone shed light on this? Is the rotron discontinued? Are there alternatives? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Discontinued for Paramotors yes. They have developed the engine rather a lot for other projects (including a Motorbike) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenScoobert Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Disappointing. I do like something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquaddie Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 What's wrong with black exhaust paint and a paint brush - it still flys..... This is what is holding mine together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffw Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi got to ask the question agaiin what's the best way to remove the powder coating and to get your frame to look like that. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatPux Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Geoff. Powder coating isn't easy stuff to remove. This article is worth reading http://www.powdercoatguide.com/2013/07/ ... Wtf7nCkqrU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It actually is of little matter how you remove the powder. As long as you don't leave yourself deep scratches to polish out. I would go for a disc sander with a fine grit. followed my a machine polish and some lime. If you use the proper polishing soaps and mops for each soap, you will end up with a mirror finish that never needs polishing again. :-) SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
