started with this GFX

but the color scheme didnt fit what i wanted, and didnt look well with the other black, blue/white things

so i sanded the sucker

then primed it :D

first grey, then white cause i wanted some white details :)

next weekend i will paint the zotac name either blue or white:D

thanks for looking :)

Looking good:toast:

fan should have been all white, the finish on it ruins it. otherwise I really like it

I can dig it.:toast:

looks nice.. love the blue metallic look

Wow sweet man you've done well...

Looks amazing. But aren't you worried that if the paint on the fan isn't evenly distributed, it will result in an uneven and bobby spin that will slowly degrade it?

Nice Job.

Here's my guess as to the answer. Not a problem if you have a lot of experience with spray paint and now how to lay on a nice even layer. But if there is a problem, you take it off, sand, try again.

This reminds me of the first case I modded. I painted the whole thing the same color blue!

I had a few dates when I was younger that left the boys that same color. Ouch.

:laugh:

Spat out my coke man, kudos.

nice. lookin good.
who ever suggested the paint scheme is awesome.

Looking good mate.
I was thinking of something like this, but didn't know whether i should.
You've inspired me. Haha!

Very nice. Good job

The blue pain on the fan is not well done.. you should re-do it imo. Youve already started it, might as well give it the perfect work and not just "thisl' do"

Looks much better now, nice going broski.

that looks pretty nice, maybe its the answer since many brands stuck on black, blue, or red PCB
btw what kind of paint that you use?

spray can ones. for cars.

Looks good, but I wouldnt touch that with a paint brush, you will almost certainly not be happy with the results. I would find some place that does vinyl stickers near you and get some Zotac ones done, shouldnt be very expensive at all, and will look much more clean.

thanks for the comments guys :rockout:

gonna paint the fan again in the weekend if i have the time, working on a slightly bigger project atm ;)

Looks Awesome!!:respect:
