Fusion paint

As long as the surface is clean, you'll be good, you always want to make sure that you get rid of any peeling paint and stuff like that.

When i tried painting the old gateway case, i tried with no sanding, and a little sanding. I brought it in to work today and got mixed opinions on what everyone liked. If you have an old case laying around, do a little bit of testing first. That would be your best bet.

In general, do you want to do any side panel cutting for designs and windows before or after painting.

Normally, you'd want to get all your cutting and/or detail work done before you paint. That way you aren't going to damage your new paint job.

yes it has to say krylon fusion. Krylon makes regualr spray paint too, which you are most likely seeing. Fusion is there newest line of paint.

Managed to find the paint. Did a little sanding before hand, but other then that no prepwork. Did two coats, and it looks nice and smooth.

I think im going to have to paint my f-ed up mouse haha , the paint scratches off of it real ez , some reason... so ill just sand the soft paint off and put some new stuff on

Even this or primer won't stick to pain that hasn't had the gloss scuffed off. It will just flake off.

 

[stereosteve99]

100% True, you must at least scuff up the surface.

When I get off work I'll try to post a pic of the mouse.

As I promised...

And

Im very happy with the way it turned out. I put on 2 coats. I wated about 2 hours or so between. It was so nice not to have to sand and prime... it was just the way I like it... fast and easy!

 

[weponhead]

Its good Stuff

I used some Fusion (red) when I modded my XBOX. It works great and dries quickly. Unless you are going to be handling it alot it will be fine within 15-30 minutes, but since you dont really have to touch an xbox case, I had my reassembled within 30 minutes of the final coat of paint. I painted my controller a week later and tried playing with it within the hour. . needless to say after an hour of gaming the sweat on my hands and the paint kinda mixed and I got red palms. After a day the paint was fine though.

I did a little tribute to Eddie VanHalen when I did this so i'll try to get some pics within the next couple days.
