Case restoration.

[StuKeith]

Seeing as I have some time on my hands ive started a few projects. One of them being psu rebuild, and the other case restoration.

Had an old very yellowed A1200 which, I thought would make a good starting level.

Here are the pics. What you think of them? I was going to respray the A1500 as best as I could back to original colours.

Thats really impressive - it looks brand new. My keys are quite yellowed so I want to do this too - go and let us in on your secret!

Looks nice when cleaned, what did you use? If you have more A1200s, then I would spray one in black or yellow, a special one

I found one of the oxygen cleaning products (think it was cif) worked quite well at reducing the yellowing.

I used 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of matt white paint and then 3 coats of lacquer.

What is a "primer"? i cant find a translation ...

is that any kind of paper to pass over the Amiga plastics?

[Demon Cleaner]

Primer can be translated as "Fundações".

[AlexJ]

Have you got any 'before' pictures to give a sort of guide to how bad it was?
