Blue in a Can

Couldn't help myself: had to order more stuff today. I'm in that sore spot where I can't do much of anything without special parts. 

After lots of research, I settled on Duplicolor Perfect Match Sonic Blue Pearl from Brandsports for the R2 blue. There's a huge variation on the blue, and lots of arguments on what is the "right way." Anyway, I bought 10 cans of 8oz spray for $65.53 (-10% coupon code SCIONLIFE). The white is just Rustoleum Satin White, which I can get all day long at Walmart on the cheap. 

The photo is from Astromech.net of another guy's testing of the Duplicolor (on the right) vs the modified Krider technique on the left. 

Finally today, I scored a single set of logic boards from pcb .laen.org /dorkbot for only $20 shipped.
