DUDE! I was thinking "how the hell did he bend the laminate over the curved edge so well!" That does not look like paint AT ALL! ![Clap clap clap! :applaud:](http://newforum.arcadecontrols.com/Smileys/default/applause.gif)
I have a can of like every black spray paint possible from a different project, so I just tested them all to find the one that matched the finish of the laminate I ended up with Krylon Semi-Flat matches almost identically
funny you should mention bending laminate.
I'm a Bender that's what I do, this is the Benderama so there has to be some bending somewhere
There are two places I have to laminate around curves, the front of the CP, and the back of the top
so I've been practicing on some scrap laminate, or I should say its scrap now (I'm using the thinner vertical grade laminate)
I'm using a heat gun leather gloves and a LOT of patience. I've found that if you can pre-form the laminate before gluing it it works much better cause the heat you need to bend it negates the glue and also if you mess up the rest of the sheet is glued down to your piece and very hard to get off
The Top back has a sharp 1/2" radius that is really tough, but I think I got it last night
I'm going to do the CP today that should be a bit easier as it has a 1 1/2" radius
cross you fingers
it took four tries to get the top right
(btw, I don't know if its just me but I can only see three pics from your last post)
Really? that's strange
let me know if that is still the case and I'll reload them, there should be 8, they come up fine here
I don't blame you for re-doing parts until you are 100% happy with them. It would only niggle you at the end if you looked back at it and wished you had spent the extra time.
That's exactly what I was worried about
that and you razzing me at the end!
