haha! hmmm i embarked on yet another crazy idea, painting my GC :P spray painting to be exact. aiyaaaa actually i prefer the brush method, but due to the fragility of the template that i created, i have to use spray paint. starting it looked goood! but later on, things took a turn for the worse mann.

later on, i painted my handphone cover too! but since i take photos using my phone, i cant possible take picture of my phone, unless i use a mirror! which i was too lazy to. so anyway...here are the adventures of my GC!! well today is only the detachable cover, haven try for the main body itself yet. scared later i spoil my GC mannn. if spoil GG lor.

hmmm at first, i wanted to paint it white and gold, with a pearl coating, but the shop didnt sell pearl coating!! :( so i asked for pearl white, which they didnt sell too!! then i wasnted pearl black, also dont have! then i wanted bright shiny gold, also dont have! walao eh. ended up settling for metallic gold and silver, of which the gold is a darker tone, not those super bgith ones that i wanted :( bad start for paint colours man. i wanted mettalic black, but nope. they didnt have. so i settled for metallic silver. metallic white also dun have!!

the first step i did, was to sandpaper the cover, so that it becomes smooth. hmmm the front of it is actually rough, bad if i just spray paint over it as the paint can come off more easily man.


scrub scrub scrub...

then i went on with the spray painting of the cover. this is the part that got bad mann. the wind blew and the cover sticked onto another piece of newspaper! and when i took it off, the newspaper went along with it. then i stupidly washed with water, which didnt help at all as i used NIPPON WATERPROOF PAINT. so i resorted to the good old thinner in my backyard. it stinks. and worst of all, it does not effectively removes the paint. -.-


back of the cover.


this is the front of it!

oh yeah.. this is the template that i created! :)


ze template~!


thats how big it is...to my finger.

then i had to let it dry... go over with a layer of paint again, which was ugly as the surface was kinda uneven, so i sandpapered it, using 600grit glass paper. i used the silicon carbide paper along with water :) nicer finish apparently.


this is how ugly it looked after the whole slew of mess i went through! sucks eh?

then i got back to the painting again, before letting it dry. -.- in the end, the surface still rough luh... but smoother than when i first started off, but not as smooth as how i wanted it to be :)


end produkt!

SERIOUSLY, IT TURNED OUT WAYYYY WORSE THAN EXPECTED!!! and i still wish i could have had the pearl coating!! it seriosuly makes a big difference, because its the finishing layer, so it gives this perfect look and feel of it, then you wont be able to feel all the ups and downs of the dam uneven cover.

later on, i sprayed paint my template on, uglier than my handphone one. think it still looks better on my handphone man. but anyway, i wanted to do it in the middle, with double sides. so i wanted to flip the template and complete the emblem, but nahhh. looks kinda too conventional. no thanks!

now, im still thinking how i should paint my GC main body, hope it matches the cover man. :P

exclusive tickets to Universal Studios tml!! wohoo!! its gonna be open specially for the ticket holders!! :DD
