Spraypaint help - Flatcher - 03-29-2010
I am going to make a mRHL2 logo stencil and spray paint it on the side of my case in the summer, any tips on how to do it? Do I need to sandpaper or fine the surface first? Or is it fine to just directly do it? Wait, could I just use paint? I'm sure paint would do fine?

Don't "Burst," spray on the case. Just go in a continuous spray at much as possible to avoid droplets from forming.
Buy a narrow tip if you want to add a thicker coat.
At least 5 layers is recommended.
I'd recommend a Belton High Pressure Molotow SprayCan. Good capacity and very nice layer coverage. Reliable and Efficient compared to your usual spraycan.
Cheap, unless you can find another website, but the price isn't a problem at all.

Or if you want to play it safe, and not worry about creating drips through your sprays.
A low pressured one, but the layer coverage is noticably less. So you might wanna spray "More Layers."

Though this might be in concern if your case has a certain coating on the metal to run down "Liquid."
Tips Covered.
SandPaper or Fine? No, just directly do it.
Regular Paint? **** no. That screams out "Not Going to Work."

Get spray paint that's meant for outdoors - it'll last longer w/o chipping
Also, if multiple layers are needed, make sure your stencil is fixed on, so it doesn't move.

So, can I just go to Home Depot and pick up any generic outdoor spraypaint?

Depends if this is just a simple job, then yes. Though the cheap generic can bleed out a lighter color.
Like if I used a typical gray can of spray, if sprayed directly it runs out as white.

So.... has anyone sprayed the lambda logo around their town?

There is the Krylon paint for different surfaces. That seems to work good also. Just remember to spray in a well ventilated area...so as to not get any up your nose and have paint boogers...
