Sega-Naomi

About a week ago I've finished repainting my Sega Naomi cabinet.



I'm now wondering how I can make the result more smooth / protected.

I've already been adviced to use 'Commandant 7', but have no experience with it.



Can someone tell me how I should handle this.



- What tools do I minimally need?

- Is there any danger to damage the paintjob?

- Can I do this without dismantling the cabinet?

- Can I perform this on the screen-cover and other parts?



some pics of the current result :

it looks quite Matte, what kind of Paint did you use?



For my eye's you did choose a Color that get's matte after it dried out,

if you want it glossy you need to paint it with Clear Coat.

You will damage the matte Color when you try to polish it.

If it feels rough to touch its probably over spray from when you painted it. Best way would be to use a good cutting compound like G3 and hand buff it to a nice shine.



Then put a few thin coats of clear laquer over it to protect the paint.



Give it another once over with G3 after to give it a deep shine.



Dont panic with the G3 as it will make it look dull at first but once you buff it off it will look the part.

g3? whats its full name

G3 it's is Full name it's from farecla ( well the one i worked with)

# Morrigu99 :



- Do I need anything specific to hand buff itwith the G3?

- Any ideas on type / marque of the clear laquer?

- Do I need to remove all parts when spraying clear laquer (I don't want to damage the white parts)

- Can I use G3 & clear laquer for both the screen-cover and sides (basically everything blue)



Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply been away.



Lint free cloths, get from automotive store for buffing.

Any high quality lacquer.

yes you need to remove the panels as you don't want to spray the un painted area's.

its ok on the screen bezel as you have painted it.
