My brother has decided what he'll do. Right now we're removing some of the paint with a wet rag. It's slow but steady progress to remove it, as it's acrylic paint and not spray paint. It doesn't seem to be doing much to the texture other than making it slightly smoother than before, and now instead of being yellow-beige in color, it's yellow-beige mixed with the original Platinum color. This will all be covered up by the paint. So, we're going to spray paint it stark white, to match the newest Macs. Maybe we'll even paint the rainbow colored Apple logo graphite or silver.
I think what we'll do, since it's taking so long, is just try to smooth out any inconsistencies On Wednesday, July 31, 2002, at 08:32 PM, Philip Stortz wrote: > you might save yourself allot of time and trouble by just giving it a > couple of coats of white paint before painting it the color you want, if > it will be a light color. silver or gold or some other bright color > might be interesting as well if the final color is semi-transparent. if > you scrape of the old paint you will likely damage the texture and leave > gauge marks (sp?) in the case. although likely with that much paint the > texture will be obscured. on the other hand there are paints that have > a definite texture, might be interesting to use one of those for the > bottom or even top layer. of course you could also re-texture it with > coarse sand paper etc. to your liking, if you've really got too much > time on your hands. ;) -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
