Guest Blooz1 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I vote for black. Why? Candy Apple Red and Gold would be just too, well, "pimpish"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkicker Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Progress My makeshift paint booth:) Sandblasted parts ready for self ectching primer Self etching primer applied now I applied a black sandable primer. This will make it easier for sanding it for a super nice flat finish to apply the paint to. Thats it for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blooz1 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Good job on yer "booth"! Taking the time to set that up will save you a lot of extra sanding on the case and general cleanup later on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Hair Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 One word I can say: NICE !! Thumbs up for you. I wish I have some extra space that I can use as a little workshop in my house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkicker Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Change in plans. the paint that I was told was candy apple clear transparent coat is not candy apple clear transparent. This blows my paint plans out of the water. Luckily I have not sprayed all the pannels the gold color, there still primer and need to be sanded. Basically it just the chasis that is gold. I will probably look at the selections of red paint and pick one and just paint the case red and apply clear coat. Sort of bummed but it should be a nice looking case.

mknwatt Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Nice progress and good job. I'm still trying "Picture it with several coats of candy apple red clear coat." Will the gold show through clear coat? That might be a dumb question. Your new front fanplate is coving up the bezel mounts. Guess thats where the Rivets and adhesive come into play. I'm like White_Hair and enjoy the great pics. edit: I see you got a word in before me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
