Scratch Build – In Progress [cip] Project Redstyle last update 6-04-2008 painting the case

update

today i've put the inside of the case in primer its the firs layer of paint. I will have to sand were i've put to mutch paint on.

 

Looking good, makes me wanna build a wood one. You can do so much with them compared to starting with a prebuilt case.

 

Update

After some sanding work I could finally start painting. I sand for at least 1 houre and 30 min to get all the bugs out of my case. With sanding you get allot of dust so I cleaned the case with a scrap and some water. This is the first layer The collor hase to get darker but because I have put on a white primer the collor is a bit light. I will have to put 2 layers of paint on the case to get the dark red that I want.

This is a little pic of the case before the painting. I tryed to get the room as dust free as a could because the paint is a bit sticky and hase to dry at least 18 houres.



The paint: Yesterday I went to the paint schop to get my dark red. I also bought some alu gray paint.



the tools: I will try to paint the case with a brush. I hope that I get a nice result.



The collor: Dark Red really nice.

Update

After the first layer of paint was dry I began with the second layer. It looks mutch better.






I dont have pictures of the third and fourth layer because its al the same ^_^

Now the stripes. Its a bit difficult because it hase to be straight. I jused alot of tape









Alu paint



You can see that the paint does not cover the red verry well. A second and third layer will be essential.
