Subox mini redone in metalic green

[Nailedit77]

Got bored of the plain black, stripped it
Down with paint stripper and gave it a couple of metalic coats. Last step is some clear coat and all is done

Just remebered now.... when i put it in paint stripper, i forgot to take out the plastic screen so had to do a diy for replacement. Anyone know where i could maybe get an original replacement?

...not likely, probably going to need a charcoal/smoked piece of polycarbonate sheeting, the kind of thing that might be in the offcuts bin/dumpster of a plastics place like Maizeys.
It will be another opportunity to showcase your skills.

MMMM, didn't think about that going to go do some digging soon

A lot of items come in those 'blister' type packs ............ the ones that are nearly impossible to open with out a knife or pair of scissors - a small piece of that will do.

I used the bottom of a old s5 cover, need to get something that i can mould the same as the curve of the original plastic. Will figure something out, maybe clear persepex. Will upload more pics once its completed and im happy with it

 

[Nailedit77]

Great stuff, I took a different approach in 3D Printing a custom case for mine. Pics attached.

 

[Spydro]

Like the color you picked.

 

[StompieZA]

Nice work!

I actually want to look at stripping the paint or respraying my subox mini tank cause its chipping off.

 

[Lukeness]

Awesome paint job. The 3D printed case is also a great idea.
