So after my initial decision to paint my Saitek yoke handle and throttles worked out so well I decided to take it one step further and sanded the entire thing back down to raw plastic, sanded/scuffed the entire yoke handle and yoke housing, taped off the important bits, used a good primer, wet-sanded everything in between coats and then put on multiple coats of glass like clear-coat to get the super smooth feel to the touch.

 

Here is the progress. Next I am going to finish off the TQ and wet-sand it perfectly smooth as well now that I seem to be getting the hang of things. I also did the throttle handles and they feel like glass in your hand, it is awesome...

 

Not a PFC yoke but I spoke to them and they can't do a custom brown powdercoat. They did actually contact the factory and inquire about my ludicrous request which in of itself is very impressive but I might still end up getting one and having it professionally done, we will see...

 

Here are the pics...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes Word Not Allowed, the desk is a mess again but I just had hardwood floor put down this week ;)

 

Wow!!

 

That is one awesome setup. I also love the color of the yokes. - Very Boeing style.

Thanks Ben! That is exactly what I was going for :)

Wow, that looks great! As I´ve got the same things, will the buttons on the throttle quadrant also work in the NGX?
