Hi,
my A1200 was yellow so, i painted with spray
i used some fine sand paper,that kind that you have to put in water. (nș1200, very thin one)
so i spray it and give the sand paper and spray it again.
I only paint the top plastic, the bottom is not painted, so there is one photo were you can see the difference
here is the result

Nice. Are you also going to put lacquer on top of the paint sp seal it in and give it a nice finish? And will you do the bottom also?
That side shot really shows the difference.

I dont know if i should put the lacquer.
The case is very nice, it doesn't require lacquer, only to protect... i dont know... i have to look for one and test it

@Tiago
Hello there, now thats a nice job indeed!
I found at best spraying to be a subjective art, by that, i mean that some products that work for some, dont always work for others. but by and large I have found on a personal level that Spray painting is as much about patience as it is about hand - eye co-ordination.
An impressive job
i hope that you complete the bottom, there are many inspirations about, one that bit me a while back was a two tone concept with top white and base as grey as the control keys
if its of use, the best lacqure i have found is from Halfords Acrillic Clear Matt lacqure, it hardens well and looks a great finish, when i get time i will post some pics in the Amiga pictures thread / gallery thing
again, a great job! a work to deffinaetly be proud in

Thanks,
i am still trying to find a solution for the yellowing keys... it will be difficult, if i paint them i will loose the letters.... i could cover the letters with something and paint around but the effect would be a nice white key with a small yellow letter on top ....

Now that would be dedicated to restoration in the extreme! A lot of patience needed.
