thanks so much guys, i'm really looking forward to my next builds. midwayfair... the painting and labeling is the result of my frustration of having to re-sand and re-paint like 3 times because it wasn't coming out perfectly clean haha... especially after trying to prep for decaling by sanding a bit after the paint dried. So the 3rd time I said screw it, it looks good enough and left it. I did a gray self etching primer, then a coat of white, then applied blue painter's tape over the white strip in the middle and painted the rest green.... I just could never quite get the lines perfectly clean between the colors. But afterwards I thought it looked kinda cool too anyway, kinda like a vintage piece of rack gear with scratches and dings in the faceplate.
also, thanks harberdasher for the zombii and sea urchin boards. Super nice guy and very professional looking etched pcbs, look forward to building these up.
