Reddit reviews 400ml Surface Primer White by Rustoleum

https://imgur.com/a/QqzTB9s heres my paint job i did the other day. the line at the side is quite scuffed to split the colours due to slightly dodgy tape use and the mouse buttons are a little weird feeling due to messing up my use of primer (spraying too close) but the rest i'm happy with and it feels not too different to the matte finish the mouse game with. the way i did it was i sanded it down just with some sandpaper i had at home, then used one good layer of primer paint ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001W03PSQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) then painted on a few layers of paint for each of my colours ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003X1DCJY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003X1B9UI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and finished it off with this matte clear finish ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006O6D8FS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). i'm sure you don't need these exact paints but they worked well for me and i've still got loads left for doing more mice if i want which is a nice bonus.

I used /u/AgentOrange96's v2 Painting Guide as a base and did a few modifications based on material availability.

Initially I did some light/medium sanding of the rubberised coating over the case so the paint will adhere better, starting with 400gr paper then finishing with 2000gr to finish up. I was a bit worried about not removing the paint completely, but it's cured pretty well without any problems. I then used Rust-oleum White Primer for 3 layers, waiting about 15 minutes between them and coating sparsely. Then did 3 layers of Plasti-kote Matt White leaving about an hour in between. Was touch dry after an hour, did another 3 layers in the same fashion, then left it alone for about 4 days to let the paint cure.

In hindsight, I will probably add a clear coat at some point: although I've been careful to not do anything silly, there is a minor scuff just by the numpad enter key that was caused by something. The matt coat it currently has is pretty tough, but no harm in adding extra protection :)
