Wow, that price. How did you get that silver effect?

The chrome is using something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Silver-adhesive-release-Air-Free-3MIL-VViViD8/dp/B00L9J5DTE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497235283&sr=8-1&keywords=chrome+vinyl+wrap
It's great because it also insulates your electronics from the carbon frame.

I painted the camera case with enamel silver. And used drain cleaner to remove the anodizing from the motors. That last one I encourage caution on, caustic soda is nasty stuff. I also wasn't sure it'd work but I have a lot of these motors ($4 a piece) so it was worth a shot.

As for price I always use a coupon code of some sort from banggood

Well it looks great, nice work! Did you remove the bells from the motors or did you de-anodize the entire thing?

Thanks! I did take off the bells, wasn't sure what would happen to the windings.
