How did you get the paint job right? I’m looking to restore an old ibm case for use with a modern rig. Is there anyway you could give me pointers on the process?
That is a cool idea! Those XT cases have a great look.
The keyboards were powdercoated with the paint custom mixed to an original IBM sample I mailed the factory. There are no standard Pantone/RAL swatches close to the correct color. It definitely cost more than finding another IBM PC case off craigslist.
Is there any way you could point me in the right direction for the texture achieved? I can find a close enough in terms of color I think, but powder coats seem to vary a lot interns of texture so if there is some sort of designation for the effect that would be helpful. Thank you for your help! Cheers!
It is a custom texture done by the factory by examining an original example.
