Dunno!

Have a look here:

It seems that fast dry enamel can bond to plastic, so I have no reason to assume that it wouldn't work just the same as super enamel.

ty, also, how much of each colour did you use, will a small can be sufficient for the main body? also do you need to do lighter colours first if ur gunna do colours on top of each other

 

[lek]

I think the fast dry enamel covers 0.6m². That's easily enough for 3-4 coats of a GP32.

I'm not sure how mixing colours works tbh. I think I read somewhere that you need to spray the other colour on immediately.

Also, I expect that if you spray a lighter colour on first, then a darker colour second, than the darker colour will be more prominent and vice-versa.


Worth spraying a bit on some paper or something first to see what happens, i.e. whether two colours mix or not.

FAQ for Fast Dry Enamels: http://www.plasti-kote.co.uk/Site/faq.asp?FAQ_CAT_ID=4

"CAN TWO OR MORE COLOURS OF FAST DRY ENAMELS BE MIXED TO CREATE DIFFERENT SHADES?

Yes. All Fast Dry Enamels brush-on colours are formulated with the same properties and can be mixed to create different colours."

^^May mean that the paintable fast dry's can be mixed, but not aerosols?

dont the LED's decrease battery life a lot? I mean the BLU didnt have that much life to begin with...

I get around ~11 hours playing mp3's constantly. That's with the backlight on for about an hour, using 2300mAh batteries. The LED's don't take much current really.

i dont want to mix colours, i wanna out colours side by side, 2 do this i wiill have to mask areas, but do i need to do the lighter first?

 

[mattmagoo]

do the black first!!

I know its darker but u always get a better finish if the darker colour is on the bottom

 

[Crocomire]

gdgd, it'll be easier to do it that way any way

Steve-O: That's a great price, is is the same/similar stuff to what I used, i.e. can it bond to plastic? I might have to nip into Wilko' and have a look round. I *think* Halfords may also sell the stuff.

Yes its for Plastics... Theres Matalic Blue which is nice

Halfords is expensiver

I like that Red and black one. I think I'll do that on both my GBA and when I get a Blu(The GBA is practice, as will be my GBC.)
