Hi All,
I have been wanting to paint the frame of my LCD monitor for a while now, after reading a couple of posts in this forum, I think I know how to attempt it. However, before I break out the spray praint I would appreciate it if the experts out there could comment on my planned approach below:
Preparation:
The frame of my LCD monitor is easily dettached, so I dont need to worry about masking the actuall LCD screen or anything like that.
I understand I need to scuff the surface with a 1000(?) grit paper prior to applying the primer. After each coat of primer (2-3) wet sand with 1000(?) grit paper.
Painting:
One area I'm still not clear on is how I should position the plastic LCD frame before I start painting. Should I lay it flat on the floor and stand over it when spraying, or should I prop it up against a wall and spray it?
Apply 2-3 coats of colour, wet sanding with 2000(?) grit in between coats. Apply 2 coats of clear, wet sading with 2000(?) grit in between coats.
Polish / Wax:
Not sure what I should be doing here. Suggestions welcome
I also dont have a clue what paint I should use or what type of plastic the LCD frame is, any suggestions?
Oh, I'm also planning on painting the frame white, not sure if colour has any impact on the overall process.
Thanks guys.
Edit: My bad - just realised I should have posted this in Rookies Nook.
