What did you paint it with?

The black with Krylon Black (Plastic paint but it stick on ANYTHING).
The gold is Rustoleum Metallic Gold Rush.
Automotive grade clearcoat.

3 thin coats of paint, 2 coats of clearcoat over the course of a day. Then let it completely cure for a couple days.

It will scratch/wear off under HEAVY usage, but i had the paint around and i figured why not, instead of bothering Tim with anodizing.

For a more glossy black, i'm going to try Ford Mustang Black (i got a can left over after doing some emergency 'repair' on my rear bumper...). It's a darker/glossier black.

Nice job. Paint can be very durable with the right primer, paint, clearcoat and baking of each coat.

Oh and looks really nice like a mix between sith and jedi acutally

I know I was just wondering which resistor you used with that setup, significantly with that LED?
