lol, is it related type of casing?

???
well dis is not a thread for posting ur case..
i need to noe why my paint peel off..

more details pls..how u spray ur case?did u remove the paint b4 spray new layer?

yup.. i even use liquid paint remover.. to bare metal..
then later primer.. 4 coat matte black..
i neva use clear coat cuz matte..
is it becuz i neva use the clear coat ..??

i use 1 layer clear coat only, still pilled...

well.. surely la.. how to tahan with 1 layer ony..
btw.. my prob here is how to prevent peel..

Bake it lor but that's hard unless you have access to a automotive garage

so wut u mean is total dryness izziit.. ??

The paint layer seems didnt adhere as strong as it should. Might b due to wrong surface preparation methods / insufficient drying

how about leaving it under the sun ? i mean let it sun for a few days or a week . lol
Now im still thinking a way to prevent the paint peel off due to tight screw contacts , i had this in mind since the first time i play with paints .

How about lapping it with what you call those things? Grommets? Those plastic rings.

a layer of laquer might help too

mebe wut u guy said bout insufficient dryin is true..
i left it dry for 2 day in room temp..

got question about spraying
how to reduce dust when paint drying off?
And how to spray the edge coz always paint overflow(menitis)
help me newbie to modding

i think we should make this thread as painting techniques

from wut i noe.. ur paint "overflow" cuz u spray it till to thick ad..
u mz spray layer by layer n coat by coat..
jz go for 1 time form left to right ONCE.. dun over spray..
u will realize tat sum part will not kena paint..
dun worry.. the thinner u spray.. the better lookin u will get of ur paint job even after many lapping done..

btw.. i think i will strip the paint to bare metal n re-spray it again..
