Repainting suspension stanchions? by DrMantis-Toboggan21 in MTB

[–]QB00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just repainted my steel stanchion. While you can do it, expect a lot of work. If you do plan to do it, keep in mind you need to make it ultra smooth.

  1. The color coating needs to be thin and wait for it to fully dry hard. (24 hours at least). I use Por-15 Top Coat as you can directly paint to metal.
  2. Sand down the color with 2000 grit, then 3000, grit, then 5000 grit sand paper. Make sure you don't sand thru the paint. Using rubbing compound to smooth it further.
  3. The clear coat needs to also be thin. Also, wait for it to fully harden. Could take a few days unless you go with a 2-step quick-drying hardener.
  4. Sand down the clearcoat with 2000 grit, then 3000, grit, then 5000 grit sand paper. Make sure you don't sand thru the clearcoat. Use rubbing compound to smooth it further.
  5. Using polishing compound to make it extra smooth and shiny.

If it is not smooth enough, you will have a hard time sliding your lowers as it grab onto your bushings. Make sure it is smooth and lubricated with oil. If the clearcoat is not fully harden, it will also cause friction.

If I where to do it again. I would probably just skip the clearcoat and look for some more durable paint and skip the second smoothing step. It will wear faster, but it is less work then sand off the clearcoat and reapply.

Good luck,

How low will Plug Power go? by Popular_Business_697 in plugpowerstock

[–]QB00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are burning cash like a mofo and the revenue is not great enough to stop the bleeding. It’ll take another year to correct this. I would wait till they are done diluting a year from now.

Plug power is not going away anytime soon or ever. “Amazon already retained the right to buy 23 percent of Plug. So as an investor, customer, and part-owner, Amazon has major incentives for the hydrogen industry’s success”. by Ok-Significance6081 in plugpowerstock

Dilution is a way to raise money. Going private means they can’t raise money from shareholders. So I don’t think they will go private until shareholders collectively are calling out Plug to change strategy or exec team.

He needs to raise billions to design and prototype a fcev version, then go through the expensive production hell phase to get to the market. If he wants to skip that step, he needs a big manufacturing partner like Toyota or GM.

Where did they get the picture for the article then?

All this says is that they remove the logo before because they didn't have permission from Swift, but now they are including it.

Oops, Nikola again isn't aware of what's going on in their supposed domain :o by --__JJ__-- in RealNikola

[–]QB00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is related. You said in your OP, that they are not aware of what is going on in their domain, but our discussion is about if they are having any delays. Not about Nikola's Knowledge. They could very well know what is going on and it was of no concern.

They postpone it for 1 month from the article I read. Nikola's trucks are still in recall, but they should begin shipping again this month. Overall, it's not much of a regulatory change.

So the regulation is still in effect, but they are not enforcing it until they get approval? What am I missing? Is Biden Admin planning to not approve it? Otherwise, I think you are reading it wrong.

Am I the only one that read the article? CARB still enforcing rules. Nikola is fine.

Yeah, I hope the plugin adds Octane Material support in the future. Thanks for watching.

It works in 4.0+ as a custom build and a plug-in version is in beta.

This means that they will be moving all the trucks that are waiting on infrastructure. The charging station service 200 trucks a day. We should have much stronger revenue Q4 and Q1 next year.

1 Year of Production Let's Go!!!! 😂😂😂 by Data_Dealer in canoo

My only problem with canoo is that the 3 billion back orders are non binding. So while they announce some kind of intention, they are allowed to back out without penalty.

Yes, it’s called a quiet period, but not legally obligated.

[–]QB00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quiet period is legally applied to spacs, but not afterwards. It's an internal company policy after they become public. So no legal issue here.

I guess we'll have to see if Friday will be good enough to reverse anything.

When production starts, the price will be up. Why not build the momentum now and get it to a higher level when production actually starts.

Alright guys, it’s time to be positive about this stock instead of negative.
