The gold platting paste is purple/redish because that's the color of gold nanoparticles. The red stained glass in some old churches comes from very fine grounded gold powder infused in the glass. They used to ground that up by hand to nanoparticles, which is pretty cool and insane when you think about it.
@@DouglasJMark You're welcome. Side note: The reason for the purple color of the paste in the video is because the nanoparticles are over 100 nanometers in diameter, the church stained glass I've seen had a very deep red color because the particles were below 30 nm in size. Crazy what they could achieve hundreds of years ago. I always wonder how they've come to this discovery, because you need to grind that gold for weeks to achieve this size.
@@Atom224 Wow. It's fascinating. I'll admire my church's stained glass windows even more tomorrow. BTW, do you have a favourite website or UA-cam or other resource? I'd love to learn more please/thanks!
I thought this is just a chemical reaction, but nanoparticles interactions are much much larger than chemical reactions, which happens at atomic scale. Using nanoparticles can make electro plating a lot more uniform than just chemical electroplating.
Well usually the first thing you do after driving in a cyberstuck is to send it off to the service center..... Because its probably gonna red screen on you right off the bat.
I dont think so.... if you have the money to do both plus you have a almost 9M followers youtube channel you should indeed do it. Why?

Fun fact: the gold DeLorean was sold for 85k ($323,441.50 in todays dollars) but only two were officially created with a partnership with American Express to promote their gold card.

I have a 24k gold plating brush setup, I normally plate silver rings and jewelry with it. The key to it working well is having it clean and polished.

My brother actually stopped using his ridge wallet because it was so difficult and damaged some of his cards when pulling them out.
Except most them are already covered by other sales as well. Ridge wallet doesn't only sells gold wallets. This gold cyber truck will increase sales, not cover other expenses only. This is more of a marketing expense

Would it have been possible to polish the gold plating before wrapping it in PPF? Maybe in person the imperfections add something to the look? On video it feels like you missed a step. 😅
as an galvaniseur(electroplater) no you would need to polish the stainless steel plates before applying the goldlayer, because the goldlayer is to thin

Ridge Wallet dropping this kind of money for something so frivolous, they must be selling a billion wallets per week. "Sorry guys, no raises this year, we just don't have the budget, but thanks for your hard work! Pizza in the breakroom!"
$60k is pocket change for PR and Marketing budget. Add $10k labour costs. That's basically 700 wallets in price... Well, 1000 wallets if we include various additional costs.
I feel as though the reason the foundation logo sticks out is because the gold layer is so thin that it just makes a transparent gold layer, which is why it allows the foundation logo to shine through and unique parts of the stainless steel stick out through the coating
do you know jack shit about chemistry and electricity? yes. what makes you think your gut feeling on something like this would ever be even close to accurate?
Shame that after thwt staggering amount of care and effort it still turned out looking messy, not only taking on the imperfections of the stainless steel but also having visibly smudged, uneven distributions sealed by that plastic protection as seen in the final reveal. I'd be pretty disappointed, if i had the visual of a gold wrap in my head. Amazing and informative video though.

He could do the same about hate comments. He probably get enough to fill the screen on any video based on how much view&comment he gets
@@YUGOT He got ratioed on his last community post
Because he already did.
This video deserves $20,000,000 views. Let's spread the word!

I have a Ridge wallet, and i think I've had it 5 or 6 years and I gotta say it's still like new.
That truck is a work of science art!
It turned out absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for sharing, and as always, keep building 👍
Seems like it will have grooves at level 2
That’s the most awesome looking Gold Plated refrigerator ever! 😮
Ridge Wallet dropping this kind of money for something so frivolous, they must be selling a billion wallets per week. "Sorry guys, no raises this year, we just don't have the budget, but thanks for your hard work! Pizza in the breakroom!"
Are you a grown man?
$60k is pocket change for PR and Marketing budget. Add $10k labour costs. That's basically 700 wallets in price... Well, 1000 wallets if we include various additional costs.
@@Vladimir_Kv Their wallet costs 60 dollars??? it's just a slab of metal that costs like 10 cents!
@@lordzuzu6437 Depends on which wallet you get. Anywhere between $60 and $250
@@lordzuzu6437now you know why they would drop that kind of money on marketing.
What did it cost? Dignity, lots of dignity
I feel as though the reason the foundation logo sticks out is because the gold layer is so thin that it just makes a transparent gold layer, which is why it allows the foundation logo to shine through and unique parts of the stainless steel stick out through the coating
do you know jack shit about chemistry and electricity? yes. what makes you think your gut feeling on something like this would ever be even close to accurate?
My 7 year old would flip if he saw this in the wild.
Jerry talks like a voice over artist. Conversations at home must be very interesting 😂
Cool idea, medium result. Apart from the uneven finish I think it's a little cheap for such a bold project to not plate under the fenders: 10:49
The first sound after the short prevew ☠️
Hope you guys also fixed the accelerator pedal on this.
RIDGE IS THE FREAKING GOAT
Shame that after thwt staggering amount of care and effort it still turned out looking messy, not only taking on the imperfections of the stainless steel but also having visibly smudged, uneven distributions sealed by that plastic protection as seen in the final reveal. I'd be pretty disappointed, if i had the visual of a gold wrap in my head. Amazing and informative video though.
Gold plated cyber truck. More reason for a thief to steal one. 😂
One and only reason xD
It's all fun and games until the thief can't offload it because no one wants them lol
@@schimanoman2817you clearly only saw them on a video
@@CrypidLorethey are selling and you are in denial kido
derty wants people to buy his rust bucket so bad 😂
Not gonna lie, usually gold plated cars look tacky, but this one looks amazing.
2:05 The bulletproof Cybertruck is already dented. I guess someone shot at it...
to be fair they said bulletproof, not dentproof
"That's gold Jerry, GOLD!" - Kenny Bania
You obsessed with this truck dude
I want on road public reaction to it 😂
Bro has a camo 💀
Remember old gangster's cars, the same here
So funny how one guy bit the box to test if it was real gold. It made me actually laugh
The video I didn’t know was possible. I expected the body panels to be dismantled and plated in a bath like jewelry is plated. Never heard of this process. Definitely learned a lot from this video
I got a ridge keyholder for £3 at a charity shop, brand new. That's about all I'd pay for a ridge product lol.
Did y'all consider polishing the stainless before plating?
It's sad they didn't use this step before. Would have been astounding.
yeah it looks awful now
@@Matticitt "now" implies that it didn't before
most impressed by the glass cover that drastically reduces uv and ir!
not gonna lie, i was hating on the community post bringing up gold plating the cybertruck but this video was actually pretty interesting
Jarvis, do me a favor and throw a little hotrod red in there
I just saw this truck in SLC! Absolutely amazing!
Hey Jerry, how many gold plated JerryRig knives will there be?
You should have used the Cybertruck battery system to do the plating. That would have been so cool.
The Prince of Dubai just joined the chat.
Thanks for showing the process very cool. I also liked seeing the paint protection film and how that goes on.
Next video: My gold Cybertruck got stolen
It doesn't rust!
It's already smudged though.
The release is like that from the cybertruck, not perfect but it exists
the funniest part is, the good plating makes (treated parts of) the surface totally immune to Rust.
Cool experiment I guess, but talk about gaudy and tacky. The smart thing to do if you win this is auction/sell it off and actually buy a luxury vehicle that doesn't look and feel like this lol
You're so smart
