Airbrushing

Just a small text based update… I went to my local hardware store and started to price up some spray paint, epoxy and auto body filler when it dawned on me that I had (have) an airbrush… so to be safe I priced up the spray paint as well as some airbrush materials, airbrush kit, can of propellent as well as cleaning solution.

As soon as I got home from the pricing spree I started rummaging through some old boxes and I found my airbrush gun as well as a half empty can of propellant.

So that’s reduced the cost of the paint aspect of the project to some degree, It means I don’t need to buy a new airbrush kit… as far as I can tell it still works.

I’ve got some acrylic paint, but before I can use it with the airbrush I need to mix it with water and rubbing alcohol at a 25/25/50 ratio (paint/water/rubbing alcohol) then I’ll be able to find out if it works or not.

The colour scheme I’ve chosen is in my opinion is quite nice, I wanted to go with Hot Rod Red and black but where the console will be going (the living room) it would stand out horribly against the purple and grey colour scheme we have in there.

So I’ve picked brilliant white and black, the top half of the case will be brilliant white with a band of black (the vent) along the top, and the bottom will be black with white buttons, It’ll also have a satin finish for a semi-gloss appearance.
