So the first coat for the stencil is done,an opaque white,the next step is to touch in the sprues and then a dusting of Pearl white to give it some sparkle.

Sorry for this one,its a bit wonky...

Once that all dried off then I am going to trace round the logo with a Rotring tech pen in black.

Im debating whether to track the logo over the buttons too,these buttons are not staying as they dont match and I dont like the red dot in the reset button....Im trying to find some touch sensitive buttons but thats proving difficult.

Properly sexy paintjob! Looks really good to me
I'd say cover the (new) buttons, though that's just me
Keep up the good work

So,when we hit the paint with some daylight we get......

Phwooooar!

Missing kitchen towels, it's porn in my eyes with the light.

That is such an awesome paint job. Looks amazing in the light. I def. agree with you the buttons really look odd now especially the red dot. A touch sensitive switch would be awesome though not sure how you would go about it. I have seen some stuff about a QT110 Touch Sensitive chip, but looks like you would have to hack the electronics together yourself with it.

ohh wow!

That paintwork is really something special. Looks fantastic!

Dude that's gorgeous.

I'm not dead set on the lettering placement, it's making my designer text placement nerves twitch a bit...

But gawd dayum, that paint!

Blending the IO buttons in..I am not satisfied with these so im glad it was just fun run,these are not going to be used I think....

those shots kinda make the overspray on the white look bad too

I have to pull the panels and touch in the panel gaps with a fine brush then do a 2mm line around the perimeter of the logo in black,will kill the overspray off as i can use frisket film rather than a mylar stencil....mylar flaps a little making crisp lines hard.

Not sure what I think about the letter placement and the I/O buttons too, but that paintjob... It's so good :drool:

I got a new toy...a macro lens. I couldnt help have a play with it and setting up the Phobya RGB light kit...in true Phobya fashion the kit then packed up after about 15 mins of use..and a connector was missing so i could only use 1 of the 2 RGB strips in the top....

Very disappointed in YET another Phobya product dying almost immediately......

Dude, this build is awesome! I especially love the light adaptive paint.

 

[Tripp]

wow that case really does look stunning mater, keep the updates flowing

A little over spray to tackle but on the whole...looking ok.
