Pessimistic Fuzz (Vero)

Just stunning.

Great tutorial too. How long do you  sand the enclosure for? Is it worth using a belt sander?

Thanks for the kind words. Do you mean before the etch or after the etch?

Before the etch, I just wet sand for a few minutes just to remove any impurities in the enclosure and to clean the surface you will be etching.

After the etch, Very light sanding with 1000 grit wet sandpaper.

A belt sander will most likely tear up the enclosure since aluminum is really soft metal. Just my thought.

Ahh ok. Thanks. I meant before. Whenever I've etched enclosures in the past I sand and sand until my arms ache but I can never get all the imperfections out. There are always a few pits and scratches. I guess a belt sander would be overkill though.

That's one of my favourite etches I've seen.

Love the look and aesthetic on this one

This looks fantastic! How do you guys get the paint so perfect after you etch the enclosure?
