I'm going to be giving my 700D a new color scheme, and I need a little advice on painting it. I'm going to bring it down to bare metal, and use some self-etching primer. I have done this in the past on other cases and projects, and I keep getting the same issue. I keep getting an orange peal look to the paint. Granted, that I always used a glossy paint before; but I'm going to use a flat paint this time so that I can get a good stock-ish look. Besides, glossy paint is much harder to clean. I also have access to an air compressor (with water separator) and a professional quality paint gun.
Also, is there anything special I need to do to the anodized aluminum front? I never really cared for it because it did not match.
I'd love to do powered coating, but that's getting into the realm of +$300.
