Re: Lucas Arts Adventure PC.
Hey all. My wife delivered our son Thursday evening, so things have been a little hectic for a few days. I finally got to go to the store today but they no longer stock the paint I needed. I found it online and ordered three more cans. It should be here soon-ish, and then I can finish painting the purple.
In the mean time I'll see if I can't get some Retr0bright started on the beige plastic panels so at least some work is getting done on it.

Grats man! hope to see more work
Re: Lucas Arts Adventure PC.
Congratulations!! A little hectic? LOL Hectic is probably an understatement! Looking good so far.

Re: Lucas Arts Adventure PC.
Alright so my mother-in-law is there until Thurday, and the paint I ordered isn't here yet, so no work has gotten done and probably won't until next weekend. Sorry guys. More will come. I promise.

No apologies needed, life happens and yours just got a lot fuller. ;)
Re: Lucas Arts Adventure PC.
Looking good!
I'm impressed with what you've done so far.
Re: Lucas Arts Adventure PC.
Thanks. I've painted more since then. The purple is essentially a candy coat, but out of a can it is nearly impossible to get an even coat over anything. I would never do that again without a proper paint gun. The largest parts of the computer look pretty bad. I may end up redoing it at some point, but for now I'll just go with it. I'd rather just finish this and have it running.

I've had good results with rattle-can candies and pearls in the past. An easy trick is to let the can soak in hot water out of the tap. This bumps up the pressure and gets better atomization. That being said it's very hard to beat a decent spray gun or air brush.
