Torching the RM2?

[tmel]

Hey guys,

I saw this video..DIY:Torch Your Stainless Steel Atomizer Cap Bronze or Blue Color - YouTube

Would it work for the RM2?

The RM2 is not stainless. I sanded my RM2 down with 220/600 to get the brass going. There's a thread about the process. Real easy using a power drill.

I personally believe it is totally possible and will try it again when I get a new chrome one. I did one that was already sanded down to brass and got some great purple, but it faded when it air cooled. I tried on some cheap chrome plated DT's and it worked but was much less forgiving than SS. On the brass one I eventually sanded it again and it was like nothing ever happened so, for me no harm no foul
I did not apply direct flame on the chrome plating, just let the ambient heat pass next to it, it changed rapidly, be sure it's clean and void of any fingerprints or debris
Good Luck

i blowtorched the top of mine to be more of a match for the black grand i usually run. It's no different to an SS cap in that. I use the same atty today - so the plating does not just peel off.
