It will be grey after nitriding.

im not entirely sure this is possible but that think would like awesome anodized

Anodizing is for coating aluminium in a chosen colour. Nitride coating isn't for cosmetics, it's to make the surface of the material harder. I won't be painting the disc rim when it's done. The disc centre is going to have a candy red spiral painted on with skulls airbrushed into it, then the hole disc will be lacured.

That sounds an awesome paint job

I want to get Satanix fully painted simaler to Hooligan, need to get it running first

Is Tom Armitage doing your sprial perchance ?

Sounds good

. Just one thing though - we tried laquering one of our robots, and it looked terrible as soon as it got lightly scrateched - tell to just laquer the spiral bit

Would just like to say thanks to whoever voted 360 as the overall best engineered robot for 2009. Ive genuinely got no idea who you are- So thanks!

Thanks to all the help from ;

Ed Wallace- Grange Square engineering - CNC work
Andrew Kenworthy- ALK engineering - Heavy duty CNC work
Grant, James and Nick Cooper- Priory Castors and Robochallenge - Workshop use and a few odd bits of machine work.
And Tony from http://www.titanium.com - Materials

360 wouldnt be possible without them.

Update on progress coming soon!
