I visited our local powder coater today and brought the scope to get a quote. I haven't powder coated anything before so I wasn't sure what I was in for.
He said $150NZD so I no longer have any plans to paint the thing myself. I will clean it up a little and hopefully drop it in tomorrow. Should have it back by mid next week.
I finished off one of the counterweights today. I copied how the paramount one works with a bolt pushing a spring loaded pin on to the counterweight shaft.
I will get the weight powder coated as well. The big difference between mine and the paramount weight is that mine coast ~$45nzd and a paramount weight would cost between 400-500nzd to get one landed here.
