    Electric blue is _perfect_ for a C64: after all, it fits with the default BASIC colours when you boot!

    As I child of the 80s who ended up in engineering and computer science because of his C64, I would like to say this is COMPLETELY in keeping with the spirit of the C64. In the era of monochrome, CGA, and whatever the Apple II had, the Commodore was all about creativity, color, and music. It was just so much fun. I think this pays homage to the spirit of what it really was all about.

  • @CallousCoder
    @CallousCoder 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What you are feeling is the top laquer especially when you choose matte. The fine mist, will always make it matte and more matte because the fine droplets, matte has more evaporative qualities so that it already partially dries in the air. You can always wet sand it with a 1000 to 3000 grit.
    But it will become a bit satin. If you want smooth finish than it’s a thick glossy coat. That’s also the reason why I painted mine with car paint and high gloss as well as the guitars I made and repainted. And with glossy you need to give it a wet coat to prevent the little droplets. And you definitely needs to wet sand that to get it smooth.

  • @TheTaskurapu
    @TheTaskurapu 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    @14:24 guess the rust remover dissolved the zinc plating on the steel screws, thus uncovering their true and original dark colour of the steel.
    The zinc plating has dual purpose. On the first hand it is a mechanical protector of the steel, preventing oxygen and moisture to get into the steel itself. And when the galvanic corrosion kicks in, the zinc, being less noble and acting as an anode in the electrochemical pair, corrodes faster and prevents the corrosion of the more noble metal that acts as a cathode. In this case, the steel is not corroded.
    Great work on the C64, it looks absolutely stunning!

    Hi Noel. You do a great job with all your videos and the comments you make. I think that 8-bit guy just places anything rusty in vinegar and leave for a day or two. It just removes the rust and doesn't damage anything like what you experienced with the springs. I tried it myself with the vinegar but I tried it with white vinegar and it worked. Keep up the good work :-)

    That is the best C64 Ive ever seen. I love it so much! Good job!!! If I ever can get a C64, im going to do something like that.

      Thank you! You should totally go for something like that. Now the stock C64 is looking kind of boring 😃

    I tried the same thing with my CPC back in the 80s. I went for a leopard pattern which totally did not work. So I spent the next years with a crap looking computer. Your C64 on the other hand turned out wonderfully!

    That really blue my mind. Anyway...I do the same thing with my spray paints - put them in warm water, shake well, put them in warm water again, shake well and use. On the gritty surface texture which will collect dirt, let the paint cure for days, a lot longer than it says to cure it on the can, then try buffing with a white cotton (T-shirt) rag.

    Excellent resurrection of a rough case. I always tell people that rattle can paint jobs look good as long as you do the proper preparation.
