A graflex clamp fits a 1.5" tube fine. Powder coating doesn't add enough to just plain old not have it fit.

Out of curiosity Tim, what kind of time frames are you going to be shooting for with the powder coating?
Probably around a week depending on if I have your color in the gun ready to go or not etc..

Once I get the extra money, the copper and flat black peek my interest.

I'm VERY interested in the black too. Is it possible to leave it uncleared for texture, possibly even "battle damage"? Or only paint parts of some pieces like the ribbed sections of the extensions?
Powdercoat isn't textured, once applied, it is smooth. The clearcoat is to protect the finish of the saber.

Thanks for clearing that up Maul. Uncleared is a bad idea then?
My MHS is uncleared, because the jerks who did mine were going to charge a ton for it. It has held up fine, so it is your choice really. Clearcoating will make the powdercoat more durable, but I'm not sure how much Tim is charging.

I would really like to see what the Sun Gold looks like on a saber. I've been interested in painting part of mine or just start a new saber and have parts of it gold.
So when can we expect to see more samples of the colors?
