In my weekly internet phone conversation with my son last
night, we discussed painting. In his late teens, he worked for
a stove manufacturing business doing the spray paint jobs on
the stoves.
Latex paint is used mainly for inside houses.
Enamel based paint is thicker and more likely to run and be
more difficult to spray on evenly.
Laquer based paint is thinner, tougher and much easier to
work with in a spray paint can. If you can get a color you
like from a car dealer for exterior work, that is the best. It
takes about a day for each coat to dry and two coats is
recommended.
Be sure to use a primer first - whether it is on metal or the
plastic. Primer sticks to just about anything. It comes in
four basic colors (in the US at least), white, grey, red, black.
I'm not sure what kind of paint is already on the Libby's; but
it is still good to use a primer to cover it up. I don't know if
spraying the mouse cover would be good or not. And I would
think that taking everything out of the case first would be a
good idea, eh??
Anyone figure out how to remove the screen parts?? Or
would masking tape hurt the screen?
And yes, Paul, I would think twice about this before doing
it myself! In fact, would first try it on the INSIDE of the case
and see how it turns out.
I'm just not sure that a car dealer would have the particular
shade of Fuchsia I'd like :-)
