spray painting

[jamie0226]

Hi, I want paint a keyboard for a friend for present. I want to apply shiny finish, for example, Primer-colour-clear coat-polishing. the thing I was wondering is that, are those automotive paints/clear coats affect your skin in a bad way if you use keyboard for a long time? is there any paint/clear coats that are skin friendly?

also would alcohols such as hand sanitizer will affect the paint/clear coats over the time? is there any way to prevent it?

lastly, can you guys suggest me some good branding sparycan primers/paints/clear coats/wax that you used that gives good result?

Thanks guys

I have used Motip automotive spray paints for many projects over the years, and I have never had anything but good experiences.

To the best of my knowledge, there is zero risk of it having any negative effect on you after it has completely dried. Unless you eat it.

The finish will naturally be worn over time, but with this kind of use, it will most likely be nothing more than the surface getting a bit dull. But if you do the job right, even that should take quite a bit of time.

For things that really take a beating, I prefer enamel with a polyurethane clear. If used correctly, that stuff will never come off.
I did a mouse and keyboard for a friend that way about 2 years and it still looks pretty much new.

Here is a couple things I finished yesterday.
The black is spray with a matte clear coat and all the red and the power button is enamel.
