    Mark looking great.
    Heads up. After I painted mine, none of the tabs fit the slots. The fit of the top to bottom was also too tight. I spent way more than the 9 days you have left, getting everything to fit again. I used latex based paint, and even though dry it stayed sticky for about 2 months. Git er done!! and consider something other than latex.

    I used the Krylon enamel in a spray can. That stuff is still like the day I put it on my MK1. It leaves a nice strong glossy finish and dried fairly fast.

    It's good to see your putting some paint on it Mark. :D

    Well guys she done! :D
    Took three days and a lot of paint, but it was worth it. :mrgreen: I love the new look!
    Here are some pics
    These were taken after the first coat and brought inside for the night. You can see some over spray, so the next day I took it all out side again and repainted it and it came out great :D
    It looks a lot darker then this in real life

    She looks great, that color scheme looks like something you might see in a modern factory.

    Thank you guys, I was going to go with red or green maybe but I really wanted it to fit in with the PhlatLAB cabinet colors. It turned out a little darker then them, but it still looks really nice.
    Randy is cutting us a MKII sticker in red that we will be putting in the center over the drawer on the black area and I am hopping to have the led arrow mod complete for the show, it will be red as well.

    James, that is a GREAT find! :D
    Using this, even a color-blind, no-fashion-sense clod like I could come up with a scheme that has visual appeal. :geek:

    hmm that's is weird.. I can click on the links at the bottom of the page though and that brings up the old version fine.
    Here's a pic of what I see pop up when I go to that link

    Man, that's a neat site. Bookmarked it. :)

    My computer is for sure not updated yet I had no problem accessing that site with IE8.

    I will check to see if I need updating on this system, but I know that automatic updates is on so not sure why its acting like this.
    Took a pic yesterday of the y/z gantry before putting it in. :D Attached files [​IMG]
