Swalker23 PMed me about getting his case powdercoated in some shade of gray. I sent him some shots of color chips of in stock gray powder and he chose "Pweter Hybrid" a nice Cream of Elephant Soup Gray color with no texture and a medium sheen.
I just unboxed the massive case he sent and immediately recognized that I had been here before. Yes I sandblasted and powdercoated an 800D not that long ago...one that had numerour layers of paint on it...it was one of those jobs I thought would never end...the more I blasted the more paint I found under the paint...thank goodness this one is alomst to bare steel already.
The 800D is a brute of a case, heavy gauge galvalume steel with lots of crevices, folds, flanges, and creases that love to trap and hide paint. I am INTIMATELY familiar with them...burned into my psyche more like.
Anyway I will set about blasting the remaining paint residue from this monster and prep it for the coat.
Here are some pics. There are a lotta lotta parts..a lot of surface area really...it's a HUGE case.
