Ok the primer has now dried and gone a fantastic bright white!!



This was the enamel paint i was planning to use, but it comes off with water and looks thin and runny, rubbish, worse £2 spent to date..



So back to Homebase and got some of the good shit, the shit you just cant fuck with, the JapLac, it does what it says on the.. etc.. It dries looking like Japanese Laquer, the type you put on in 500 layers and looks shiny and lovely afterwards, the same as the black..



So lets get this "signal red" on and see what it looks like..
Test paint of first side, ignore the over painting on the edges, that'll clean up afterwards...


Test side 2, bit of a drip on the corner but its all cool..




Test side again..




Final smooth over and left to dry, sorry for the orange tint, but the flash is needed in the evenings and it gives everything a crap colour... Bloody sony tat..





Final front, left to dry..




So that'll get a nice tidy edge tomorrow and the black can have another sand and coat on the edges too...
Hopefully the last 2 buttons will arrive too and i can get the electronics in and start wiring this baby up..
Back soon..
