One of a kind RL Battery Tie... :)
Just wanted to share another member's battery tie that I just finished for him. He def wanted red, but I asked him if I could put my own spin on it. Originally we discussed just making it red, applying a white vinyl decal that said "Racingline" on it that I would powder coat over....After it arrived I informed him I had an idea and wanted to try something different. No decal, just LOTS and LOTS of detailed masking and powder coating. Lmk what you think. I wanted to share the end result of my crazy idea.

Very nice work! If you modified one end to make it a beer cap popper, it would look nice too.

Does anyone know where you could buy the metal MAXIMA ones that were popular here a few years ago?

Having this in any colour would be sick, but putting a price on something so detailed will be hard. I'll take one in matte orange.

I can do matte orange, I can even mimic the burnt orange of the GTR calipers. but yeah this thing took some time and lots of detail. The color change was perhaps the most time consuming because the letters are so small. Looks even better in person though.
