Do vero boards count as build report? If so, here's my Nein Fuzz.

Somehow I struggle spraypainting these kind of "raw aluminum" cases. Despite applying metal primer first, the paint doesn't
stick so well. Put a label in the wrong place, removed it and the paint came off with it. So I ended up sanding everything
off and repaint. At least it does it's job as intented. Low parts count, no unusual values.
 
Vero builds absolutely count! Kudos to you for doing your own layout.

I also have issues sometimes with rattle cans. Sand the bare enclosure first a bit, then the primer. A few clear coats on top and then wait a few DAYS to fully cure. You’ll get marginally better results. Or I suck at spray paint.
 
Vero definitely counts!

Some people have luck with an etching primer. It's always been hit or miss for me. I always use powder coated enclosures now. Even if I plan to paint over the powder coat with a different color, the paint sticks better.

Thanks for the recommendation on how to improve the spray painting. I prefer powder coated enclosures, but these always
sold out at musikding.de and they are way more expensive at other domestic vendors. Thus I ended up do the painting job
myselfs. Interestingly the somewhat larger (but thinner) TEKO enclosures are way easier to spray paint. These are plain aluminum
and this seems to make a difference.
