Hello All,

Got a rack case come in which is being racked out at the minute, And custom connection panels being built,

It could do with a a bit of tarting up, Its wood and metal so i was thinking quick light sand on the wood and a quick spray up ? or should i brush a finish on ?

Is a favour for someone so dont want to be spending vast ammounts

I would go with brush as spray paint can be messy.....with a brush you have more control and a better finish IMO.

How about using a small foam roller. Will give a really good finish. :)

Wet and sand...fine gain and hammerite (black) not the cheapest but it is the best....gives a good shine.

Yep.....will do the trick. :)

I'm sure Peter being the handy man will have something to say....:p :D
