Fun for the KiDz0rZ

[SgtM]

Check it out guys. I'm going to be doing some more painting in the house today. We got this paint for the kids play room. I think it's gonna be kinda fun for us (mom and dad) too. Who wants to turn their case into a chalk or dry erase board?

Wow! Cool!

It's magnetic primer?! :eek:
Now THAT is interesting...

I like it!!! :up: :up:

How my mother wishes she has that paint when I was a kid...

[Zephik]

Hey thats really cool, I wish I could turn my entire room into one giant white board! lol

I'm sure that will be loads of fun!

Yeah, the stuff is HEAVY too.

Heck yeah!

Does the blackboard paint "screeech" when you scratch your nails against it?
:D

[Elenril]

OMG That is so cool! I need some of that! Where did you get it from?

We'll see in a few days after it cures.

Home Depot.

We're looking forward to the 2 day wait before we can write on it.

Project: Dry Erase Computer Case

I'd use it, write stuff like "lol gg nub" all over it and actual notes on the top

[crenn]

Having a computer with a whiteboard side would actually be pretty useful..... or your 2 year old daughter (no, I don't have one) could doodle on it for 'daddy'.

[Dilphat]

wow that some cool paint. I would turn my whole room into a white board. and my tower case a whiteboard too. write on the sides "noobs beware!" haha. yay! tell me how it turns out with the whole writing on it. +rep

[Elenril]

It's just the thing I've been looking for. I have a whiteboard in my room already, but it's really small. Next year when I'm in yr 12, I was planning to put butcher's paper up on all the walls of my bedroom for all my projects, so I can brainstorm and scribble down things and have something resembling a giant mindmap on my wall. But a blackboard is even better!

That dry erase stuff would be kickass for a desk, just write on it where you know it won't get erased... or on the ceiling, just draw on the ceiling for the hell of it, that'd be cool.

If you wanna do something cool with a ceiling; burst open a glowstick and throw the stuff in it on the ceiling and then repeat with other colours. It must be the coolest thing ive ever seen! And best of all it doesnt leave any mark on the ceiling!
Actually now that i think of it ive only ever tried it with blue ones (the 'juice' is clear) so other colours might stain.

[SgtM]

I got all the painting done yesterday. I have to do a top coat of blue over the magnetic area to finish it off. Before they can be used, the dry erase has to cure 3 days, and the chalkboard has to cure for 2. The kids are very excited to use it for the first time. Quite frankly, I can't wait to check it out either. I'll post some action pics after everything is cured.

how long does that last? Because like when you crack them they glow for a bit, and they never glow again, so do you have to use a blacklight or what? I'm curious. Since i have a good 8 glowsticks in my room right now from my friend in the army. haha, 4 blue's and 4 red's.

i think most of us are waiting too. i wanna write on your wall now! hahaa :banana:

Dilphat: they will only last for the night but they do look really cool splashed all over the ceiling

[NamesAreUseless]

The last time i broke a glowstick, it smelled kinda weird, and i couldn't get the smell off my hands.

Yeah, they do smell funny.. However, they are non-toxic.

[Omega]

The last time I broke a glowstick, it was in my back pocket and my ass glowed =p

[calumc]

The same weekend me and my friend discovered that they looked cool on the ceiling one of my dopier friends managed to spill some of it on a rather sensitive area. he said it stung. a lot.

[crenn]

Does it now glow constantly from the chemical burns?

[calumc]

I dont think so. but i really dont want to look to make sure! :D

[SgtM]

Well, here we go guys. Some action shots. Remember, I still have to trim everything out, so it doesn't look finished atm. I'm not quite happy with the dry erase board paint. It works, but in order to get the marker completely off, you have to use that cleaning spray. That won't stop them from having fun with it though.

add a blacklight ot the mix, and the room EXPLODES when the light goes off!
:D

-Jeremy

P.S. - that paint is especialy cool looking when splattered against some ceiling fan blades ;)

EDIT: Here is more, but this stuff is pricey.. http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g43/c12/s495/list/p1/Case_Parts-OEM-Case_Parts_Misc-UV_Paint-Page1.html

Good mod schtuff there... methinks that'd look cool on the paintjob I have planned for this case.

[b4i7]

I can see it now: the student casemod with dry erase sidepanel.

omg...im so gonna do that

[calumc]

maybe with that dry erase stuff you could try giving it a spray of clear coat to give it a more glossy finish -> making it easier to rub off

[Dilphat]
