This build is coming together so sweet. I cant get over how well the paint jobs you do look.

If only I was not a student and could afford painting equipment  :(, or at least get access to the university's painting rooms, and use their equipment and bring my own paint...

NO! I can't paint my case to try to make something nice like Hanoverfist...

 

I have to say, you make real art pieces out of your cases, and I admire you for that  ;)

 

If you're searching for me I'll be in a corner crying....

Thanks  ;)

 

Slowly its getting there. 

 

@acidydragon  Good luck

Do you clear coat these things after coloring them? Do you Primer them before hand?

I believe that it depends on the looks you want to get, but I would say, he doesn't use clear coat as he doesn't get a very deep gloss, and doesn't use primer on the black parts, but I'm not sure about the rad or the case feet.

 

I like your question acidydragon, it's a good way to learn, learning from the best  :D

A fine compliment indeed.. Thank you

All the House of Kolor i use needs a clear coat.. I use their USC01 show clear.. Now there is a way around that.. using something called an Intercoat clear which i do use and you see on that MB Block.

SG 100 is used to seal over base colors and provide you a surface to do tape outs and artwork.  It can be a permanent stopping point but really shouldnt be used as a top coat clear.

 

I always use primers. If I am coloring plastic, I use HOK Adherto. which is a clear adhesion promoter.  super sticky.

If on Metal/ Bare metal I use HOK Epoxy Primers.. THey are Direct to Substrate primers that are absolutely some of the best i have sprayed.. Silky smooth.

 

Paint always needs something to bind to so primers are essential.

 

The reason you dont see deep gloss is because I am Under studio lights.. Photographing a deep gloss is very difficult.  If you see these parts in person you would agree.

The difference to the naked eye is just the brightness of the environment, but I didn't think it would make so much of a difference...

I want to see pics of the Green Manalishi in direct sunlight, it will be so amazing!!!  :wub:

Parts from the UK should be shipping soon.

That is what's holding up the case paint job. Then some shots outside will be in order.

I wish I could get the proper paint for my case but I'm on a budget. So spray paint it is. But if you do spray paint right it can look very good but stil l nowhere near this. Do you have a shop or something. That you sell these out of
