This is the keyboard that I got in a rummage sale and thought I'd try to give it a new lease on life. (The actual keyboard I got was A LOT older and....well, dirty. I had to search and find on the net because I forgot to take before pictures.) I talked it over with the wife and thought that maybe adding a bit of color to the keyboard would spruce it up a little. So, off to the hardware store! I bought a few cans of spray on paint for the job, and set to work. I did the usual clean/sand/prep work for the primer to adhere nicely with no flaws. After the primer coat was applied and had sat in the house for 2 days to dry, I taped off a corner and sprayed on the nice red color I wanted. Almost immediately, disaster struck! The primer started wrinkling up.
Now to be honest, at this point I was more than a little disappointed, and kinda just flung it down on my desk. The next day the wife brought it back to me and asked "Why did I go with the dried blood look on the keyboard?"
O.O.........
PERFECT! The keyboard wasn't a total loss after all! So i grabbed the red again and hoped that it would still wrinkle up the other part of the keyboard....
AWESOME! it wrinkled up perfectly, matching the other half exactly! Now there still is a two tone paint line, but I can merely add more coats to it till it blends in...
You can see the tone line a bit better with the wrinkles here...
Anyways, this is as far as ive gotten at this point. I wanted to upload it to you guys and see what you guys thought, and if there was any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
