    Edit: also a good tip: post content regularly. Like once a week. Regularity is going to give you a lot more subscribers soon. Starting is hard in this time. But you have good equipment and skill.

    noo no no no NO NO
    Please use gloves when spray painting...please
    Also you seem like you don't have a mask or any eye protection, since the spray is coming from the bottom up and you stopped spraying.
    And if you're doing the spray painting somewhere out in the open (which you are), you really don't have to put the case in a "closed" box , only one side to where the spray might end up is enough.
    overall looking good, good job! Hope to see further mods in the future ^-^

    • @junQuijote
      @junQuijote  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Sim Pilot - Thank you for your concern and suggestion. Do note I was wearing a facemask during the entirety of the painting and was doing it in an open space. Nonetheless, I will wear gloves and eye protection in future mods :)
      Just for reference:
      - I have no option but to do the painting on our tiny balcony because that's the only open area at my place (I stay in a condo)
      - I need to use a closed box in order for impurities to lessen ( I stay in a VERY humid country ). Also due to point 1
      Again thanks for the inputs. :D

    • @junQuijote
      @junQuijote  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Gavin, not sure about the technicalities of the paint. The brand of the paint is 7CT ( says Interior/Exterior in the canister). I think any spray paint will do as long as you sand the case prior to painting. Pro tip: try to do multiple light coats. I did a rookie mistake to do heavy coating ( took a while before the case was fully dry )
