Interesting board.

Your how to guide forgot to mention carefully separating the tabs that hold the front of the case together as they break easily.

Paint flakes to fingers to food to mouth to digestion system. Be careful. There are tons of things that are carcenogenic.

Interesting, was something done even before step one?

You should have told us that you put it into an anodized aluminum case and left us scratching our heads.

Been waiting forever for a good aluminum case, its happening in a few threads but maybe not for the original pcb and such?

That was what I was thinking of! Grrreat result! Not that people think you can just paint a case and that's it

That paint job turned out better than I would have thought for paint on plastic.

What type of paint is it? Enamel or acrylic? And was the base coat self etching?
