The Intelligence - Day 32
supplies: Rustoleum Universal Black Gloss, low tack purple tape, some more blue tape for the shop, and a few sheets of 400 grit WOD
test piece, the cut out from the switch panel from a Day update too early on to remember
primed 3 coats, then I painted three coats and set it aside to dry (forgot to pic the test paint)
sanded the fuzzies for like an hour or more
began taping off the case trim with low tack, didnt wanna pull the prime off the trim, which seemed easy to do
all taped up
1 coat black. lemee tell ya, this paint is high build for sure. had some problems with the spraying action, almost like it has trouble getting started, but once it starts it goes pretty good
3 coats
this paint is pretty good for coverage, and the any-angle thing cant be beat. as far as spraying consistency I'd say Krylon is better. And when it comes to the black gloss Krylon has it beat in color depth and gloss finish. For this case I am not too concerned with the black so I will keep using this. For the red I will use this brand too. The outside of the case is much more accessible for color sanding and a few coats of clear should look real nice
Oh, I almost forgot, the fan grills plan B aint gonna happen. I looked at the current cut outs and they are right up against a second lip edge in the trim lip, so theres nowhere to cut below the edges of the circles, so I will have to devise something else.
thanks for watching
