Still trying to figure out what part of lazy you're talking about? Looks pretty darn imaginative to me? Perfect texture!

Well, this is annoying. I put painter's tape on the enclosure and marked and drilled. Then when I pulled the tape off, it pulled off most of the pattern and clear coat with it. Pic below.

Decided to to just "go wild" over top of what was left. I'll be showing that off in the completed build post.

I suspect this issue is a combination of the type of paint and clear combined with the powdercoat. Clearly it didn't stick so well (although I'll have to say the painter's tape is a bit tackier than most I've used).

Might as well go all the way. Light it on fire for a few seconds!

Fire would probably just obliterate the paint and may not do anything to the powder coat.

I saw an enclosure where the guy used a shotgun on it. Very post apocalyptic.

That looks awesome. I think had the center cross be tapped over that would have been interesting. This gives me a lot of ideas for enclosure finishing. Thanks!

I'm totally a late comer to this, but that technique is the cat's backside!  Love it!

Has anyone tried out any other items in the meantime that they think turned out well?
