Case Mod - In Progress BLING (DK's spray job)...06/10/11 ...FINISHED....

Your dead right about trying to take pics of metallics, I've yet to manage it and get really good results. I find a nice sunny day the best time.

I done the white and silver thing on the inside of Bulldogs box, looks lovely in the some but totally wasted on the inside of a case.

I have to keep you away from my cases, just in case you eagle eyes spot any thing...lol

 

Mate, gorgeous paint work as ever, This log is not just nice to look at but it's felt like a tutorial as I've read through, so cheers pal thanks for the tips on how to acheive the effects, great stuff!

 

Thanks Joe, I was sort of going to do it like a tutorial but got carried away and just got stuck into it. Weather permitting tomorrow afternoon I want to try to get it 90% finished

 

Had quite a good days spraying today, I've now got the chassis, side panels and front all sorted, just one side panel to go and then it goes back together and off to Tony.

The paint dilemmas all sorted now and colour is pretty much down the middle of the previous 2...


















All most there now Tony. By this time next week it should be sitting in your house..

 

Excellent stuff sir. Looking forward to it.

 

It might not look like there is to much flake in the pics but I can assure you that there is plenty, in fact any more and it will start to take over the green.

 

I think there are 2 flakes too many. .

Looks good, nice colour combos and the finish looks great, cant see any orangepeel or runs whatsoever.

 

I demand a re-count. I've just been over the case 4 times and I'm only finding one extra, so you're going to have to show me where it is Mr eagle eyes..

And just to redress the balance I counted the flakes on the chassis and found it to be one short, so if I remove the offending flake and place it in the chassis, in the correct position, the balance will once again be restored and harmony and the equilibrium of the universe will be as it was.

Oh thanks for the comments by the way, when it's out in the sun the colour combo looks really good...(Nothing like blowing your own trumpet is there..lol).

 

Absolutely love the gold flake. Looks phenomenal! Can't wait to see how this turns out. The green is a nice change from the standard colours people use and the gold works really well with it. The gold also seems to make the green pop!

 

But.... The case balance will be out when using the handle??

 

Ah feckin hell, now I'm going to have to spray the whole lot again to get the flake balance back in order

Edit: I'm going to fit a 2nd handle on the inside, then the balance will be restored.....Shiiiiit!!That was a close call. Stuff like this comes easy when your as smart as me....

 

You just trying to put mine off you old bugger

Sent from my GT-I9000

 

Come on jeff will you get a move on with the build im not getting any younger!

Great spraying though

 

If you can make it till the week end the final pics will be up....lol

 

I don't know I mean that's another 4 days. What you doing to the case, baking it lol

 

It's like a fine wine. it needs to be left to settle before it get shipped out.

 

Well as long as it's good I'll wait I might get you to do something for me soon

 

Yea Jeff hes not you know lol

 

Hmmm, now that sounds interesting....Just be aware I'm not doing assassinations any longer. Just no money in it any more.

 

Howcome no holes for handle before painting?
