This was an awesome build and a great experience. It all started when Lazd told me about how you could paint the edges of a frame with a little super glue and a paint pen. One night my girlfriend and I sat down in front of this and decided to trick it out. She loves art and I love quads and so we both had a blast doing some super cool detailing. The rest of the parts are just things I had laying around. I'm thinking that this will be my dedicated freestyle rig from now on.

How did you paint the frame?

quadfather_fpv Jan 31, 2017

Actually, it was my girlfriend who did the paint job. what you do is sand down the carbon and then use a paint pen to draw whatever you want. then use some CA glue to coat it. Do that a few times and you're done!
