Then I used some accelerator and clear coat which I use when I spray cars also added is a slight but if thinners I think it's 2 to 1

The steels are wiped over with cleaners I get rid of grime and oil that fingers can lea e and any oils

Then I spray it in a booth which is heated and has ventilation AND IS HEATED KNOWN AS AN OVEN
Basically it what I use to spray car bits

Then spray and leave them to harden at least a day and this will be hard enough to polish to

OH I FORGOTTO ADD A PICTURE OF THE HARDENER AND THE FACT I GET ALL KITTED UP LIKE WALTER WHITE FROM BREAKING BAD ....

WELL A BREATHING MASK AND OVERALLS AS THIS STUFF ISNT GOOD FOR BREATHING IN A CONFINED SPACE

Am I the only custom Glosser who enjoys getting new matte finish steel books so that I can gloss them myself? I just love doing it. I got a new steelbook the other day, and was a little disappointed when it had a glossy finish already. Am I nuts?

Perhaps I am a little gloss-crazy, but at least I've drawn the line at my Play.com Ironman and my HMV Thor. Those are perfect just the way they are
