Finished up the painting.

The board got a couple coats of bondo and sanding, then a couple coats of silver metalic paint and more sanding as a base.

Over that, I applied some Metalcast purple.  It came out more pinkish.

I had intended on doing this as a base for a fake carbon fibre effect I'm pretty good at,  but Ryden seems to like it how it is. Hugging without touching..

The covers get the reverse treatment as being transparent, they can be painted on the back side.  So the Metalcast paint went on first, then the silver.

The bottom cover didn't get the silver coat yet as I need to mask off where the lights are going to shine through first, and I'll need it back on the board to mark that.

<EDIT>

The board got a coat of polyurethane tonight, so purple it is.
