Trying to get a fancy one out careful drop in
Ladies and gentlemen, look who it is Steven gar, Lana. We have not seen this guy in probably two years look at him
Look at him who's that? He was out here unboxing a massive shipment that he just got over a front env
Got the Box right here. He's got all kinds of goodies. He's pulling out. He's got all kinds of Forks right here
He's got these six wide arrows before some windows right here. He's got the new wheels
All these 30 wide wheels are right here
He has off getting move one, two, three, four five every color out here at scooters own
I really wanted the blue ones right here
But when I got my shipment I got these ones which didn't match my scooter at all
But I also like the oil stick ones right here, but today's video is not about these wheels
Today's video is about the $10 and me scoot. Today is the very first day that
restoration on the $10 NV scooter starts today
We have to strip all of the paint off of
These max Peters bars because these are going to paint the only problem is I haven't decided if I want to do the exact same
color
But I'm leaning towards that right now because I still want to kind of keep this original and I know they made these in green
Purple and I believe black and they might have made them in blue
But I don't necessarily remember me if they made them in blue
But the purple I'm I'm kind of leaning more towards keeping this color, but regardless I can't take these bars in there like that
I could but my friend John Radke is gonna be doing the powder coating and if I took them in like this he would probably
Hate me forever, and I would not be able to call him my friend anymore therefore
We got to take all the paint off of these things. But before I do that, I
Want to ride? Okay. So we're out here at the infamous scooters Owen. Let's get a couple cooks up the step up really quick
shall we
And
Little faculty or let's run to you mother, huh? The last scooter that I wrote it inside here was the sheep like $10 scoop
I can tell you right now just get it right so much better. Oh
I messed up on the quad come love it
There we go caught it better than everything currently in the need for two new bearings. Oh so Envy calm
Please have some various things. Let's get a couple front flip variations into the foam pit first trick
I will try from Plutarco hander
You guys can't see the tucks on hand are usually that well, but I swear it's gonna be there swap it in round one
You could probably see my knees we're hanging on it was there I promise Rumple Chuck with no problem
Let's see how well I can get from flip. Whip really quick. Okay a tip number one on front flip whip drop an egg
I get that pop
well, I
Dropped it. I don't do problems, but we will try it again
Thank you drop in and slow it down a little bit
There we go, that was way better way better alright no more phone pay cuz phone puts freaking suck
I hate them but oh I hit my knee on my bars fat Ripper you reaching my back on this one though, right?
I'll back up you back foot you were shaking your head. Yes at first, so I'm taking that
Let's see buddy do a hand plant with us vine first go
Whoa, let's lick and died. I got you the invert again. There we go. A hand might
Not first try all right session is officially over now
I have these bars and the way that I'm looking at getting all the paint off of these is by using a wire wheel
I have to pick this thing up super carefully because I'm terrified of scratching my fingers
I know there's some stuff that people usually put on the bars to make it a lot easier to get the powder coating off but
I don't have that material today. I don't have any of those products. I don't have the chemicals whatever you want to call them
So I'm doing it the old-fashioned way
Oh
Wow, that's enough, it's good enough. Sorry John, where did it get us? No arm I'm suing you
Oh
My gosh, I took a little bit longer than I expected but the bars turned out really really good
All of the paint is completely stripped off. I got as as good as I could in those little crevices in there
That's they're really really hard to get a hold of every single little tiny bit of paint
But I did what I could and I think that's gonna be good enough for
John to get a nice proper spray on there and get these things powder coated up. I don't know how long it takes
I don't know if he's gonna be able to get them all done today
He did tell me that he could paint them and well stupid treat and start baking them today
But I don't know if that means that they're gonna be actually finished
They might be they might not but we're gonna do our my thumb is up
So, you know those trying to it thumbs up, but now that these are all set and ready to go
I'm gonna cruise over to John's place really quick and we're gonna find out exactly how long this is gonna take
Okay, so we made it out here to affinity
This is affinity
Not a lot of you guys are gonna know that name because yes
It is affinity the scooter brand John rocky is one of my very close friends what you know in John
everything that was like a little little kick probably since I was like 13 or 14 years old was like just that little grunge at
The skatepark riding around and John sponsored me he owned dxg for a long time and none of you guys know what that is
but me and John do John was kind enough to
How to coat the bars for us today and we're gonna get as close to the original color as we can
I don't know what the exact color is of it
But John says that he has seen the color before we're gonna do our best to like recreate it and whatnot
I took the sticker off. None of that stuff is on there
I got every make the sticker but he had he does all the powder coating here in house
He's got a weight. Do you do that's that's uh
Baker thing yeah
Two ovens. He's got two ovens that can let me show you what we're talking about really quick
So this is the spray booth. This is where the bars will hang right up there
They'll get sprayed on to everything like that once they're all sprayed
They go over here into the oven they bake in here for 20
I think you said 20 minutes or something like that 20 or 30 minutes thick limit and then they come out and they're pretty much
Ready to go. So this is gonna be really cool. It's gonna be awesome, but I can't pull these glasses off
I need my normal ones which you can get at
Wwe.com this is our powder right here. So this is obviously what makes these bars this color
These are all the affinity bars right here that they make. Oh perfect beautiful
So John is gonna catch up on some of the things that he has to take care of and I have a job to do
I clean these bars off as well as I could but there is still a little
Bit of purple in here a little bit in here. We want to make sure that these come out like really really pristine
So I got some cleaning to do
All right looking pretty good so far
I do have a little bit more to get in here gonna have to snap some sandpaper really quick and get those cuz I
Won't want that. We want that
Okay
So I've got the bars
Completely cleaned off now. We've made sure to get all of the purple out of the little ridges and everything
I just wiped everything down to make sure there's no fingerprints on there. There's no dust on there
So John's gonna prepare all of the powder coat materials right now. He's gonna go back
There's gonna paint everything make sure everything is even that it's gonna go inside of the furnace oven
I'll let you call it the thing that makes it hot and then we wait
As nuts
So now they say here and they dry for a little bit they actually never get wet just a plastic
Things on there
And once it reaches temperature now, then it'll it'll start to flow. No, but it's a consistent thick mixture of whole parts
That's freakin nuts. So now you guys can see we do have the purple down
this is now it's gonna look like when it's finished just so you guys know it's not gonna be a
Like as texturized as you guys can see on here
But there is a little bit of like a sparkle in there. You guys can probably see it a little bit
I don't want to touch anything obviously because it was just finished. We're gonna let this hang off a little bit
We'll throw everything in there. It'll bake on to the actual bar and stick to it and then we should be good to go
Well, she's hot mate. I can't turn it with one hands. Yeah, we got 20 minutes. Let's go get burgers. I
Can't touch anything, so don't think that I'm just being non helpful because he has these big gloves on that's very hot in there
Really good, really nice. Actually, that's super super close now
All I have to do is make the sticker and put that on there
But that looks exactly like it what it looks like seven or eight years ago. Yes, mate
So now we have the very first part made up. Oh and we got
John's taking the bars out right now. He's gonna send them over here for them cool down, but I don't touch anything
It's so hot. We ended up going obviously like you guys know with the normal purple color
I did think about going with a blue or something like that because you would have never seen a an early bar of
Max's that would have been blue or any kind of other color
But I didn't want to do the green and I'd really thought about it. I want this thing to be as original
I want it to look exactly like it did seven or eight years ago back in like
2010 ish era so a little bit later than that
But uh, yeah the purple it is and I think it turned out really really really really good. Yeah, it's oh she's shiny
It's gonna be really cool to get the the sticker on there to it
I gotta make that sticker cuz nobody has any of them but uh step one
Complete ladies gentleman. So frickin good turned out really really I'm super stoked on the color on these
They look like I said very much like they did seven or eight years ago
I still had to get the sticker made but once we get that done
I'll be able to actually put these bars back on the scoot
Stuff to do the anodizing on the clamp still gotta figure out if I can do that
Even evens that at all as well as on the deck fork looks like it's gonna be okay
Wheelz gotta find grapes got a lot of stuff to do but this part
It's complete. I don't want to drop them. So I'm just gonna do it this way
