toilet paper is better..
i've tried tissue...LOL..not advisable
u can try though hahaha..
actually the newspaper of course would make it dirty but that doesn't matter, u only want the mould/shape..after that can paint or spray or anything..
toilet paper/tissue would slightly be black or yellow...well it turns out differently when i do it compared to when my sister does it haha

im curious to know what artwork u do, can show it to me?

u should refer to this thread : http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/708742

just hobby only
years back when i was studying that is..
as u know this stuff creates some kind of pattern when it's dried, i applied it on most of my book covers then paint it + wrap it with plastic wrapper
the effect is nice ^^ looks like dried earth cracks haha..
other artwork for example, well it's like playing with plasticine, only thing is it'll get dried and stay that way haha...
can make models such as animals, fruits, anything depending on ur imagination..

well, for computer wise, u can apply this on the casing panels..front, side, back, top..just need a lot of materials and time and creative ideas hahahaha

ahh yes! i forgot there's this thread hahaha

After sand , need to put some putty to cover the small hole

ya, but instead of putty, i use back the same epoxy to fill the tiny hole cuz cant find any putty around my place.

i just realized some creative work overhere.. have you tried using a clay?

remember bro its all in the sanding.....sand to perfection

Use water sand , and remember buy good quality sand paper

didn't got any shop selling clay at here... i definitely will try if i can get some...

oh, totally forgot about the homemade clay,ok will try it if this didnt work out well.

Nope, spray a thick layer of primer and sand it

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: the result doesn't turn out nicely, still got tiny hole even i spray several layer of thick coat...

will try out homemade clay 2moro.

those are air pockets... just fill with epoxy again and sand again....

do not sand off stock paint on ur casing completely. sand on the surface only. this way u, dont need any primier as ure using the stock paint as primier.

errr i guess im too late

can meh like that o.O, i thought primer and normal paint were 2 different things.. usually cases, they dont paint it.. its stock powdercoated

haha, u are really late, cuz im strip off all the original paint using paint stripper and the new paint already on their place, sit nicely

Bro reiben, tell me whether i need to sand my clear coat before polish, or juz straight away polish, is there any different between this 2 method?

Cannn... u may try it & ull see, this method is realy works. .
Primier is an agent between metal & paint, as paint will not stick on metal but primier will. it work like this, paint will stick to primier & primier to base (metal). even powder coated, new paint can stick to it nicely. Usually stock paint will bond to metal better than spraying a primier to it .

so far... the most problem in painting tt i can see here is the primier did not stick to the paint. mayb, due to oil, dust etc on the surface of the metal be4 painting or mayb bcoz of the primier itself
