In our other picture, you can see a part of our robot already done like this, and we hope to have all the outside surfaces looking like this.
What is really cool is that the pattern changes depending on the angle you see the peice from, so on a moving robot the effect should be amazing.
That’s an incredibly cool finish. It makes our diamond plate look vanilla…
Thank you. That plate took me about 45 seconds- a minute to finish.
And the best part: Its just normal aluminum. So no extra material required, just do that to your structural stuff
That plate took me about 45 seconds to do.
I think it would look cool with an anodize on it. It would prevent it from tarnishing and you could chose either a clear or a color for it. The downside to a color is if it gets scratched it would look bad, but them again your robot could show off it’s “battle scars”.

Been there done that… Was wickedly cool!!!
We did that in 2002.
This was our configuration for our winning NYC regional!
We painted the side panel PPG Orange Candy Coat with lots of clearcoat!
