where do you buy your paint from mate?

Amazon. It's proper graffiti paint. Fast drying and excellent adhesion.

It's Kobra Paint - It's only £2.80 a can. But delivery is £6.64. But it's the same delivery how ever many you buy. So i got 1 white and 5 different blues, ranging from light to dark.

That light blue is the first stripe. Just got the next shade up, and gettting ready to put 3rd stripe on.

I actually spray it complete. Then got an brand new stanley blade. Cut round the indentation of each letter and number, then slow scraped the paint away.

Took about 40 minutes

Ignore white bit on faceplate. It's just top of masking tape.

Golden, what do you charge for a case already done like that? I really like that, some of the cleanest work I have seen, especially the window cut.

I've never charged. These all my own that i f**k about with.... Lol. That way i never have to replace them if shag them up.

The window is just a case of some fine grade sandpaper. Some people just go at with the dremmel and use the dremmel sander attachment. But nothing beats using your hands for a gentle finish.

Once this is down. I may do a Tottenham Hotspur Football one

Id like to see a window over a hard drive which has a clear plexi top, would be cool to see that spinning around with some led's bouncing off the HDD disc.
