Yessir I was thinking about using it when to paint my Surly roadbike.
The Vantablack I was looking into for certain art. But that doesn't look like it has a spray form, and the Q is what kind of adhesion can you get on metal/primer?

Yes no spray form. That CultureHustle product claims to have a
I rode a Crosscheck and a Krampus for a while. Great, no-nonsense utilitarian bicycles. It's mostly carbon fiber for me these days.
Nice, mine's a crosscheck. TBH I was initially drawn to it simply because I hate the look of more modern bikes and a level top tube was a must.
It's my road/gravel/trail bike. A hardcore dude showed me his carbon build, I want to say the dang thing weighed 8 kg? I was amazed.

Very cool. Yes that bike does it all. And the frame/fork in black has a strikingly badass look not unlike what this murdered out AU-222 you are building will have. Style and soul no space age modern machine could ever even hope to have.
Tone board reflowed and done, minus some 3.3uf Wimas. Waiting for USPS...
Knobs arrived yesterday, I think they'll look good once it's all buttoned up and they stick out a little bit on the pots. Pleasantly surprised to find they are odd-sided.
Idly thinking about matching the yellow in the Sansui logo and filling in the green underneath...

That enamel is actually tan. I need to look, I should still have some Testors model enamel that is a good match, as I had to touch up some of the engraved legends on a couple of my components in the early 70's "professional black" line. I'll post it if if I can find it. That said, I kind of like the turquoise green color used for the model designation. Makes for a nice contrast, IMHO.
Hmm trying to picture all of the engravings in that same tan color now... I like monochrome...
Every time I clean a board with IPA I regret it. White residue everywhere, no amount of rinsing getting it off... And I'm too afraid of washing with water with all these components on, especially the trimmers and outputs.
Also broke a tiny trace but that is an easy fix.

I use CRC electronics cleaner. It does a great job, and doesn't leave any residue.
Lint free printer cleaners. Multiple sizes on Amazon. No more Qtip fiber strands left behind.
Nnnnnnope. Bucking recommendations on that. Hey that famous dutch guy with the custom 222 didn't either.
I am putting in new rectifier diodes, had to drill out the holes slightly.
Edit: never mind, it just looks that way because it's the only cap that didn't have either the capacitance or voltage increased...
