Spray painting Reel to Reel recorder cover

Post by Distorted Vision »

I want to spray paint the cover of a Pioneer RT 909 Reel to Reel recorder.

I intended to soda blast it before painting. What products would you advise using?

Post #4 suggested anti rust primer->metal paint (flat black)->high gloss enamel

Can you recommend specific products.

It might be worth looking for a local firm that do powder coating. For diy spraying look at acid etch primer as it will give a stable base on metal for top coats.
