Usually, priming is a must, along with a top coat. Keep in mind that it can be done, and done well. After all, just look at all of those plastic car bumpers that are painted perfectly. --- Painting Plastic Parts Tools Needed: 1. Whatever tools that are required to remove the part to paint 2. Airbrush Other Items: 1. Sandpaper, 400-600 grit 2. Tack cloth 3. Plastic adhesion promoter (primer) 4. Color paint 5. Clearcoat 6. Reducer 7. Flex agent if paint requires it When using an airbrush, many times you are required to thin the paint. Check out a local hobby store for an inexpensive airbrush kit (or a compressor and paint gun for larger projects). If you're unsure of painting, try a practice piece or the back of the plastic piece you are painting. Step 1 - Remove part to be painted Step 2 - Clean thoroughly Remove all grease and wax using a degreaser and a detergent. Step 3 - Wet sand Wet sand lightly, so that the promoter will adhere better. Step 4 - Clean again Clean again with detergent and dry, or use a tack cloth. Step 5 - Plastic adhesion coat Follow instructions on the can. Apply 2 coats and allow for drying time (time on can) DO NOT OVERSPRAY!!! If you notice imperfections, you can wet sand again and apply another promoter coat. Step 6 - Paint Follow instructions on the paint can. Wipe down lightly with a tack cloth to remove any dust or debris. You'll likely have to use a reducer at this point to thin out your paint mix (refer to the can or your airbrush instructions for details). Apply about 3-4 thin coats, allow for drying time per instructions on can between coats, in many cases over an hour. DO NOT OVERSPRAY!!! More coats may be needed, you want a smooth surface. Allow to dry for 6-24 hours, the more coats, the longer the drying time. FYI - Don't touch while drying, yes it is wet, yes you will leave marks. Step 7 - Clear Coat Follow instructions on the clear coat can. Wipe down lightly with a tack cloth to remove any dust or debris. Apply about 2-4 coats, allow for drying time per instructions on can between coats, in many cases over three hours. DO NOT OVERSPRAY!!! More coats may be needed, you want a smooth, bubble free surface. Allow to dry for a full 24 hours. FYI - Don't touch! Note: Some paints take a week or more to fully 'set' and even if the surface feels dry, it can be easily marred during this time. Be gentle and just leave it along for the next couple of weeks. Step 8 - READ THE LABELS Check with the paint and clearcoat maker about waxing information before using any wax. Most recommend not to in the beginning. The labels will also tell you any additional instructions the manufacturer recommends you follow. Step 8 - Reinstall part PPG, DuPont, and ColorRite are good paints to use, here is some PPG info: Plastic Adhesion Promoter - SXA1050 Reducer - DT870 Urethane Clearcoat - DCU2021 Hardener - DCX61 = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do you Yahoo!?

Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 20:57:49 -0800 From: "Clarence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Libretto black case >From personalexperience, I can tell you that spray painting the keyboard isn't a really great idea. The oils in your fingers, as well as the repeated contact with the keys will wear the paint off. However, if you are deadset on painting the keys (the rest of the lib is easy) then get some primer and automobile enamel. To replace the lettering, use dry-transfer lettering like you get at the craft store, then put a clear coat of clear enamel over that. when painting the keyboard, use lots of thin coats. This decreases the chance of gumming up the keys. -Clarence "The Mechanic" Harper Serving the Scarducci Family Since 1881 Get your own evilemail.com address at http://www.evilemail.com ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Failing that, spraypainting will probably be your only option. Taking apart everything isn't actually that hard, the workshop manuals which are floating around somewhere (check the archives) give full instructions on how to safely disassemble the laptop. Your hardest task will probably be trying to paint the keyboard ... - Raymond --- /~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?"| | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
