i just hope the finish lasts!
i cried for days when i got my first sign of shipping / flaking. now its so messed up in places...im numb |
To prevent flaking you should have used adhesion promotor. I recomend sanding everything down with 300 grit then washing in soap (dawn) and water. THen using some degreeser. Then you finally apply adhesion promotor then use normal paints. To get the old paint off toline/turpentine works amazingly.
The degreeser helps alot becuase plastic has a problem where it likes to retain silicon, this means that the paint powders off. Be sure to wipe everything down with alcohol inbetween coats. It keeps dust off. I have painted my xbox 3 years ago no clear coat or anything. There is no flaking and the paint is so strong that even with insane abuse including dropping controlers on it and stuff. Not even a scratch. |
Mmmmmm Turpentine!!! Yeah...that shit works great!

This thread's the shizzat!!! I was just thinkin of doing this myself ... after I fix the damage I recently did to my car, so this thread should be all I need for the whole project. Anyway, I was just looking for feedback on what color to go with, I have a yellow MP5, and I was thinking orange since yellow interior would be a little TOO much yellow don't ya guys think?
|
The 'girl' thinks yellow is just fine...just don't overdo it.
