Wet Sanding

[Assault55]

Can someone give me advice, and like a begginers guide? b/c i'm re-doing my pc in 2 months. I want a great looking case, so i'd like some suggestions on sand paper, and paint.

The guy here uses Pro grade products, but the same results can be gotten from rattle cans (spray paint). Just remember that rattle can clear doesn't go on as thick as pro, (about 2 to 1) so hit it with 3-5 coats of clear for etra protection.

Once you read up, if you still have Q's let me know we'll answer them. Rankenphile is working on a painting how to for TBCS, as soon as it warms up look for it.

Good Luck!

I'm from Missouri, and the humidity here is awful for painting. I've had to use a couple of auto body shops for getting the right humidity because outdoors powered my work. If you get little to no paint on your primer, and a lot of it comes off when you wet sand, this is your problem.

Those guides are useful. Listen to them.
