Cheap, uncommon yet so attractive. Blend in some red and it will be awesome.  So I went and purchased Auto paint. Toyota Metallic Black was my choice as it was great and the only Choice. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> 750mL is 750 LKR. And I purchased TOA metallic silver and TOA gloss black spray cans. Purchased Paint thinner retail 4 liters costing 280 LKR. Total is 1700LKR.    Metallic paint needed to be sprayed. So I need a air spray gun + air compressor. For me everything comes in a phone call. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />   Friends are always useful.A friend with a motor garage this time.    <img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1116/cxv039vi3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    3 coats of metallic paint sprayed.And sometimes 4 on some places.Really covered it up.Sanding is required before painting but the case had anti corrosive sealing paint on it so only roughed the outer surfaces.  If paint is left , just paint the neighbourhood girls cloths.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /> Awesome work <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />    <img src="http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/1884/cxv040lw1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    Side panel    <img src="http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6129/cxv041uu0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    All things    <img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8026/cxv042df5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    Did a bit of wet sanding to brush it up.Using 1200 grit sand papers.    <img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2531/cxv043sq7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    Front face was edited for better air intake. Two grills made out of old auto stereo speaker cover(I’m a cheap person <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> ). Painted it. There was some unnecessary plastic behind the button plate. Removed it. Did a paint job on it too.  Since I had an imported Front panel in mind ,stock FP was removed.    <img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2464/cxv044iv0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    The metallic silver paint can.    <img src="http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3083/cxv045ro5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />    After that project was halted for 6 months. Money and time issues. Covered it up but dust had it covered when I brought it out. Time to finish off what I’ve started. Took out and cleaned it a bit.  Usually paint needs at least 6 weeks to toughen 6 months were more than enough. </blockquote>
