Finished up the 888 today with a yummy coat of candy orange and translucent violet powder coat. This one was dead on and plays really nice. Key was modding my oven with some special holders and a little longer preheat of the yoyo. Hey don’t forget that custom MBstring to match. :-\* ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/e/9/ce92438e0f918fc1489e337475bf1584fc2677cb.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/7/0/c703868e09b6aa15225b64a7fb14a0f51e1d1712.jpeg) ---

Just pay to ship. Too bad I don’t have a beater. Closest thing I have is one of my desperados. And it only has a few marks. But, if I get one, I’ll certainly send it off to you. ---

Powder coating is very popular, powder coating yoyos is not, obviously. My set up was around $400 total. You can PC just about anything metal. I think!! I need to take some pics of the process but for now I need all hands on deck.
