Title: It's Red!
Post by: Jixr on Thu, 05 December 2013, 18:57:55

Hey guys, picked up another QFR, so thought i'd might as well paint, lube, and cap it.

Red case, red plate, mx reds, heart cap for style, as well as my 'Jixr' Spacebar.

hope you like.

yeah, i'll get more posted. I thought I Had some of the assembly, lubing the switches, painting, etc, turns out you need to put a memory card in your camera occasionally if you want it to work properly.

As for the paint I used some off the shelf rustolium, its a gloss finish, which typically i avoid, since gloss finishes are much harder to sand smooth and look nice compared to the matt colors ( like I use on my blue one )

thanks, updated it a bit by making a custom sleeved and shortened cable to be connected to my ipad until my poker 2 comes in the mail.
