Eh? I dont get it!

Did the bird try nabbing the amiga lol? or did it erm... try and poo on it lol.

Anyway joking aside, whether you like the colour or not! quality of finish is great and the black keys look brilliant :D

Kudos to spraying the keys and leaving a cdtv keyboard alone! I had a cdtv back in the old days and I came so close to swapping the keys over (this was back in 1996 ish) I thought better of it half way thru and put everything back as was.
 
@ Megamix

Where did you get the keyboard stickers from, please?

I`m afraid it did its best to land on the thing, done my best to repair the damage but it will all have to be redone me thinks, I turned my back to let the coat dry off and it was so quick:Doh:
see what happens may leave it till after Christmas now.

Thanks for the comments:thumbsup:

Finsihed for now

Finsihed for now

Here is the last shot of my A600 in blue, lost heart when the bird landed on it, so it was a quick repaint but looking at it i`m not happy with it or the keyboard as the paint looks like it has reacted on some parts of the keyboard so it will do for now.

Did make a start on the A500 case but ran out of paint:roll: see how that goes as there is not keyboard for that its just a case that will be getting sold..

I think it looks great, as unusual as it is. Maybe you could "correct" the visible stickers' outlines, or maybe not (the outlines should definitely be corrected in an all-black project, but in this case they add some futuristic coolness I think which matches well the equally futuristic blue).

Finished A500 job

Finished A500 job

Well finally got the A500 finished.
This is going in the for sale section as its all I have left from my A500 but wanted to bring this thread to a close with the finished A500 case.
The badge part was just a quick sticker really as I cant find the original badge after taking it off. (Me thinks the wife put it in the bin)
