that was the original plan, but then I saw this technique and decided to try it. Plus I am doing the outter black trim last, as opposed to first, like I did on the other half of the case. Kinda hard to explain why, so I wont try - lets just say there are methods to my madness

The painting seems to be going great man! I wouldn't have chosen that route to tape the stripe, but I'm with Warf, I hope it comes out well.

Th end is nearing eh?

Well, I mean, (from all my paint work at shops) usually the base goes on, then the stripe (or whatever two-tone/fade/effect/etc you're doing). How you've done it you'll have two tape lines. One where the white is, and the second one where you'll tape over the white for the red. Like Warf said, it will be hard (not to say it's impossible though) to feather that line out, as is. And definitely get something higher than 400grit. Like, 800-1000grit. Don't worry, if something should go off-course, theres plenty of us here to help!

The Intelligence - Day 39 - Exhaust, Case Paint - win or phail? Live and learn

This part from yesterday, spent all kinds of time trimming it and sanding etc

then it cracked
put iton back-burner

heres the handle support all painted and cleared

next victim inserted into contraption, we'll come back to this guy...

back to the &*%%!@@#! vent. Busted out the 2-ton epoxy (maniacial laugh)
bonded it all up after sanding and cleaning etc, forgot to pic

the PSU shroud needed some work. Basically making a semi-shroud that will direct the psu exhaust thru a hose to the back vent

found hole center

purposely marked down and right to allow for magnetic strip and glue hieght/width

:bites nails: 3" holesaw in acrylic...

what a mess, but a success



trimmed part away from parent piece



cut the top and side flanges

(talk about a slick tool (scroll saw) - shaved an uneven edge right off, no fuss)

test fit the shroud for square

top needs to carry 1/8 past total width, almost messed this up

taped together for viewing (outside, back, from left)

sorry blurry, needed this perspective shot (inside, front, from front left)

regarding the paint in general, if the white is any indication of how the rest of the color will sit down and look when its dry (level and gloss) I am frigging stoked! Here's the taped stripe

marked off the keeper area, and sanded down the white edges (knocked down with 220, 400, 600) to get rid of the "shelf" effect that would occur otherwise. This sanding process did not cut the primer

detour, primed this part

painted it

end detour, taped off trim and innards, ready for red spray

said a prayer to the gods of Bill Owen

one coat

3 coats, sorry flash
(3?)

no flash - f* me this paint sits down nice

money?

so did I survive the stripe taping or no?
I'll let you decide... post your thoughts, Ill reply with info

thanks for watching
