Your right, I've never seen anybody lube a case before. :eek:

perhaps I should contact mkawa and get one of those ps2 adapters while I'm at it.

Nah, I've got 2 already. Just going to support mkawa's efforts.

 :D  Maybe if you get 2, you can get TWICE the nkro!

Honestly, though, looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Well technically I've got 7 tops. One is a filco and will be left alone. One I'm sending to another member. So I'll have 5 to 'work' on!

the best use of the ps2 adapters i've found is to hardwire them to M controllers. no more of that ps2 junk at all. YESssss

When I saw your post in danielucf's custom Phantom sale thread, I knew I could expect this from you on this thread.

You can improve on that, take a file to it, and then some sandpaper of various grit.

I figured it'd be hard to mess up.  I didn't spend but a minute or two on it.

that's pretty cool. is this just your primer or are you leaving it there? that flake would look awesome under some color and nice smooth clearcoat

Right now I'm just experimenting!

Also this paint is textured.

the texture should come through future layers. UNLESS you layer a LOT over it and then smooth the upper layers with an abrasive. that's going to be seriously sweet looking if you can find some complimentary colors and then a gloss coat. i vote to leave it textured.

+1 textured, otherwise it might turn out to be Das SpAmRaYboard.
