How do you plan on doing the buttons? Capped tacts?

Make sure you finish this on a Friday. Or Next Friday. Or Friday After Next.

I gingivitus-inviting suck at spray painting. Do you guys have any tips?
Thnx.
Starting work on the back of the case and spacer because the front is getting boring.

From your pic on page 2, it looks like you are drenching it with paint, which you don't want to do (I used to do that). If it looks like you just dunked it in a bucket of paint, that's bad. You will get much better results if you do what the can says and do many light layers. You really can't do them too light, so don't worry if it takes 5+ layers before you get full coverage.

He's right.

Yea, thanks for the link!
Should I be filling scratches or sanding them? They're pretty major.

Sand in circles. Gradually work your way up to 800 or 1000 grit, 600 would also be good.

Currently, I have 60,100,120,220,320, and 600. Should I just use those?

Yeah, start at 220. Also, sand it under running water in the sink. It makes it sooooo smooth.
