haha looks great man... did you do it just like mine with the black part to hold it on?


good thing with that is you dont have to cut a million zipties to get it off to paint it... just a few snaps then the same to put it back on

 

If its galvanized steel they make a special primer for it because otherwise you will have to strip the zinc off before painting it. Rustolium makes it and its called cold galvanized primer, I have it in gray.

 

Sorry to derail the thread briefly, but Canadian Dakota, they make illuminated keyboards. Check out www.performance-pcs.com I couldn't live without my Logitech G19

 

yes i did it exactly like yours.



and it is galvinzed. so thanks for that

 

The other option is to strip the galvinized coating off of it by heat (HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO TOXIC FUMES) or using a chemical and soaking it. You can google specific chemicals, but most acids will take if off within a couple of hours. Or just go with the primer, and lightly sand the metal before applying it.

 

il go with choice C lol

 

Cant wait to see pictures of it when its done!

 

glad i could help you out hendrix... looks great

 

has it chipped at all? or does it seem to be holding up?
