Project - Alternate (Custom PC Desk Build)

[Deblow]

In this update Iv done the final MDF primer & white primer coats on the whole of the desk,
Cut the MB tray & added a 200mm fan to the base of the desk


MDF primer

The standard PC case tray

3 big holes made in line with the fan that will be directly under the MB tray

Cut for the 200mm fan

heres the desk after the full primer, still lots to do in preparation for the paint

Heres a shot with the glass on

Should have some photos of the final finish im looking in the next update, soon as this has been done the desk will be ready to come
inside the house for the internal components & modding to continue

I'm curious how heavy this monster is going to be.

The project should be named "The Immovable Object" with performance of "An unstoppable force"!!

haha,.. yes its very heavy, the next photo update shows how its more easy to transport in sections.
I can move it by myself even with a broken leg, but cant walk with it

Thanks Wraith, glad your liking the log
Its fun to post the updates for you all to see, otherwise only my wife & a couple of mates
would get to see it.
& TBH I think my wife hates me & my desks lol

Got my paints & been working on the smaller parts of the desk, wanted to double check the finish &
practice applying the paints before doing the bigger parts of the desk.

because of the deadly fumes in the basecoat & 2K/2pac clear, Im best doing it in 4 stages over the
space of 2 to 3 weeks.

im also short on space, so by painting the bottom sections & then letting them dry (harden) I can then
add the middle section back on top & paint that, same for the top section.


This is the box of paints, cant believe it cost me over £100 :O
should have stuck with vinyl, would have been less messy & a bit cheaper lol

Black Basecoat with thinners, 2K/2pac clear matte with hardener & thinners

this is the base & thinners to be mixed for the bottom coat/base

primed ready for painting, still needed cleaning down at this part

3 stages of basecoat black applied, still wet at this stage

while the basecoat was still tacky I applied the clear coat, because you cant sand the base & clear during any stages as it would alter the appearance of the finish,
the whole process has to be done within about 1hrs from start to finish with no room for
errors :O

From wet to dry, the photos will show how the finish changes over day

stuck them back on the desk to see how it looks & try imagine the whole desk painted

out of everything iv done so far, this painting has been the hardest part, I hope the extra effort was worth it in the end

What do you all think to the colour so far?

Im happy for now, but really need to see it all done & with some red added

Great! glad you all like the finish
Its been one of the hardest choices iv had to make, working on the bottom sections today

 

[Pogal_31]

Really in love with your color choice. Looks so classy, dynamic and exclusive, the "satiné" effect is perfect, I'm sure it'll be a masterpiece of art once finished and filled !
