Customizing my Aspire Nautilus.

[lgustavus81]

Got bored at work today and decided to get creative with one of my nautilus tanks! Tell me what you guys think!

 

[xdragonx917]

Sweet! How did you do it?

 

[maraud]

sand blasted?

 

[lgustavus81]

Yep. We have a sandblasting cabinet in my shop at work. Figured it would look pretty sick with the ML marks still ckear!

 

[maraud]

Very cool! I presume you put a thick tape of some sort over them before you hit it?

 

[Traijan]

Really looks quite nice. When I saw the title of the topic I thought I might have come in here to find instructions on how to make them more airy than they already are or something like that, but... It looks pretty like that and I'd likely do it to mine too if I still used the original glass tank, but I'm afraid of my being so clumsy that I'd break the original tank so I use one of the stainless steel caged replacement tanks instead which has survived many falls to the Spanish tile floors in our home as well as handled all the times that I bump into the kitchen counter when the nautilus is in my front pocket.

Just taped it off with some electrical tape ( I'm an electrician) and strolled over to the sandblaster!

Looks great. Who makes the drip tip? One of mine that came with the unit lost the o ring and its a very hard to find. I hate having to swap the tips from tank to tank

Not sure. Bought it from one of my local shops!
