Title: Need Help Painting My Ducky Shine 3 TKL!
Post by: Abn on Tue, 22 October 2013, 20:05:33

So my shine 3 should be here soon, and I would love to add a spray paint job to it. I have a few questions before I acutally do it and I would love your guys tips and pointers!


Paint I would like to use:
http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-254860-11-Ounce-Specialty-Galaxy/dp/B0058I2I5O/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1382489308&sr=1-1&keywords=rustoleum+color+shift


1. Would I need to prime with a black primer ?


2. Would I need to use sand paper to get the exisiting paint off?


3. Can I just spray paint it with a quick wipe down of the keyboard?


4. Should I add a clear coat after the paint job?

Thanks!
