which black spray paint will provide the same effect as the cm 690 pure black interior?

planning to spray the aero slots black to match my casing.

None. Go for powder coating instead. Satisfaction guaranteed!

aeroslots just spray yourself -.-. dont bother powdercoating those

i think the nippon flat black will do just fine. its only aeroslots, dont need to spend too much.

Just get 1 can of primer and 1 can of flat black.
-apply 2 light coats of primer, 1hour rest time interval.
-wait for 24hours.
-apply 3 light coats of flat black 20min rest time interval.
-allow 2 days to dry thoroughly

second that. If it's for small parts, spray will do. Can get nippon or RJ London. I personally prefer RJ London.

erm, u could do without the primer, you will still get a glossy finish, if u always remember to apply even and light coats of paint.

the primer is a prep coat that will cling onto the bare metal, and give it a smoother surface for base paint, and the paint will not drop off as easily.

i believe it will be cheaper for u to do it urself, and to gain some experience as well.

hi, im a modder as well and i do spray painting. i did not follow those steps personally, especially the 24hours one.

can you tell me maybe here or pm how does it affect the product if i do the following.

2 light coats of primer, at about 10mins interval
3 coats of desired colour paint, at about 15mins interval
leave to dry for about 1 hour before touching

It is always good to allow the paint to dry thoroughly, most people like to rush it.

For primer, its always good to set it aside to rest, as most people do some sanding after primer layer, to achieve a smoother surface, so if it doesn't dry properly, its not going to turn out nice.

If for your base coat, u are able to achieve very light and even coats of paint for every layer , otherwise i would recommend a longer period of waiting time.

Its best you leave it to dry for 1 day at least for the finish product, even if the paint is dry to touch with your finger nails, there might always be a chance that its not dried thoroughly.

The key to spray painting is patience, dont rush into things, but different people might have different ways of spraying, use the method that you are comfortable with.

i recommend to add clear coat if you are painting aeroslots as it will scratch against your casing when you put them in and take them out.

might as well get those black mesh slots in sls for $12 for 6

ps. aeroslots are not bare metal and have been nickel plated.

i have my nippon spray paints for sale... don't use them anymore

smokey black.
primer.
clear coat.
