UPDATE: 30/06/2011
Well it's not really a update I just thought I'd show a few pictures of the panels after they had dried. These are a few of the panels I'm not going to lie I couldnt be bothered to drag them all out and take pictures of each
Just need a few touch-ups on one or two of the panels and some areas could use some sanding.
"DAT Finish!"

I bought it from Amazon (mainly for cheapness) unfortunately it's not directly from Amazon and comes from companies selling over Amazon this means the dispatch time isn't that fast. As far as it goes now my items have still not been dispatched so I presume they should come between next Wednesday and Friday.

Any progress?
UPDATE: 8/07/2011
This is not really a update I'm just letting you know the reason I haven't posted in a while. So my paint came through and I haven't done anything new at all since the last update. Basically It's been raining, A LOT! and I mean heavy rain and thunderstorms so I haven't been able to paint, not to mention it was my birthday on Wednesday so that kept me busy too. The only chance of painting between now and next week would be Saturday if it's decent weather. Shouldn't be too long now anyway getting into the major stuff soon once this last coat of primer is done.

Another Big Update today folks. So today I retouched and sprayed some panels still on the primer stages but like 95% done now. Anyway pictures are more fun than words so let's begin!
Well today was a wonderful day very hot and sunny weather, before I could start painting I first had to make myself a snack.
In 1941 the japanese bombed pearl harbour...
In 1969 man first landed on the moon...
in 2001 George Bush was elected president...
and in 2011 I made a damn tasty sandwich...
Anyway to business, Apart from touch-ups and that panel I half sprayed this is all I had left.
As you can see I needed to remove the remnants of crap left over from the rubber that was stuck to this piece which absorbs vibrations from the PSU.
I would also need to sand these bar's down.
So that's just what I did.
I then left my primer to soak in warm water whilst I set up the spraying area.
BAM! retouched this panel.
KACHOW! then finished the other side of this panel.
Before...
After
Then I sprayed these bad boys!
The only issue I have left and the reason I am still 95% through the primer stage is due to the bar's not being able to stand up properly. I could only spray one side successful. So tomorrow I'm going to pick up some string and tie them to my washing line this way I can get the job done without the paint rubbing off. Secondly the square thing which had all that crap on it. Well that crap is damn hard to get off! It wont sand off and a knife didn't help much either. Fortunately I managed to scratch about 80% of it off after soaking it for a long ass time in hot water.
Anyway tomorrow agenda buy string, scrape the rest of that crap off the square PSU holder majiger and finish up priming.
So until then stay tuned

Well I cant really call this a update I was all ready for finishing off my painting when I realised I had no string and as I said before I cant primer the last bits without string to hang them from my washing line. :/
So string, priming and starting some gloss coat tomorrow as for now I got to test out the gloss on my crossfire bridges and so far I'm very impressed.
Check it!

This weekend, THIS WEEKEND!
UPDATE CENTRAL!
Yes! this weekend, **** is getting done and I mean it this time. Too much time has been spent dilly dallying. So anyway back on track. priming is 100% done YAY and since I have nothing on all day tomorrow I'll be spending the entire day wet/dry sanding then spraying all the panel's black. As far as today goes I have a sneak peak for you all.
TADA! Nice glossy panel's
I do enjoy how much this paint reflects
But damn does this paint like's to drip, I'll be sanding these off tomorrow also this picture guest star's me
Anyway stay tuned as In one to two hour's I will be uploading some designs for the main case and would like some feedback.
Stay Frosty
