I am so waiting to see the finished product. If you need any ideas just ask.

 

[klva80]

ok so far the color of the primer is dark gray o what i call rat grey

 

[Cold Storm]

You took my bench from my house! how could you! lol... That looks pretty nice. Clean and bet its waiting on the next step!

do you have some very fine sandpaper? (like 320 to 1000grit?) if so, once the primer is really dry you can lightly sand it.
That way when you put the top coat on it will look smoother.

(if you get a chance to watch expert car painters they put several coats of primer sanding between each one to make the surface smooth)

very true i spend a couple days sanding and priming the fender on my old jeep!
the end result looked amazing though!

what color are you going with for the finish ?

dark metalic blue would look really nice!

 

[MKmods]

LOL, it seems like we are all always painting the cases black. It would be nice to see a metalic blue one for a change.

i thought about doing a pearl white case once ... but it would prob show dust and stuff allot

Check out rockstar's case in the logs MK! So far I love it!

 

[klva80]

how about some yellow that would be unique i think

 

[JrRacinFan]

Yellow? Hmmm ... I do have an idea for you but unsure of how elaborate you would like to get. Gradient 2 tone yellow and black.

 

[jbunch07]

how about some yellow that would be unique i think

gradient would look good but how bout blue with yellow accents?

 

[klva80]

how coul i make a gradient to make some test on my dummy case and see how it would end

 

[JrRacinFan]

Here lemme give you an example ...

Mind you this is just a quick sketch up with MS paint.

i was thinking of painting the floor fan in some yellow caterpillar or orange tomcat, what do you think guys with the interior being dark metallic blue?

 

[MKmods]

Normally if you said Blue with orange I would say "are you crazy?"

But I saw a comp that was orange with blue inside and it REALLY looked beautiful in person

(his name is dexaroni at PDXLAN, and in person I just freaked out when I saw it)

Colors are a very personal thing, its important YOU like it because you are the one that needs to look at. I am very conservative in my colors, but you will never know what you like till you try it.
(besides that is why they invented paint remover, for those mistakes, lol)

Ok guys I'm thinking of the front eyes of my side panels (the blue things that in my case are black) and put some mesh instead matching the inner color but since a don't have moder mesh, i was thinking about some mosquito mesh but any suggestions are welcome

 

[klva80]

When you dont have access to modders mesh screen or netting works too. Use what you have.

should i sand the different layers of paint to ?

If the paint you are using is Enamel, NO.

if its Lacquer you can if its rough. Lacquer paint dries VERY fast (in 10 to 15 min) Enamel paint can take weeks to dry (outside is dry but the inside is soft)
