What needs to happen
1. Cut holes for CM
2. Sand the case down
3. Throw some primer on it
4. Sand some more and primer
5. Paint the case black and white
6. Rivet the case back up
7. Install hardware
8. Layout watercooling loop

Yea, after seeing you paint your case i said might as well do mine to and hope it looks half as good as yours.

I need to get the paint right on the first try

Looking sweet man
Now ~ get er done!!!

 

[Assassin48]

the funny thing is, i have pretty much everything here but the cpu.

I also have a bunch of Caribbean blue 1/2" tubing that i cant use since its going to be a red/white/black build.

What do you guys think should be painted white / black / red ?

[Assassin48]

What about this ?

maybe paint the bottom inside white too ?

 

[jellyrole]

You forgetting the red part?

 

[Assassin48]

I don't know what should be red tbh

I made this laying out the loop with red tubing

 

[Assassin48]

went shopping today

You should paint that mesh grill type thingy on the exterior red.

well this is taking for ever, the sand paper is barley working so i went out and bought some of this stuff
http://www.lowes.com/pd_26273-91-01133_0_?productId=3029137&Ntt=paint%20remover&Ntk=i_products&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1&currentURL=/pl__0__s?Ntk=i_products$rpp=30$No=60$Ntt=paint%20remover$Ns=p_product_price|1$identifier=

and it didn't work at all.

Any ideas ?
I think anodized black aluminum

Just roughen it up a little with wet (black) sandpaper, 1000 grit, then primer. Painting aluminum isn't the best thing to do really.

how would i fix it now ?
Its the back of the mobo tray,

would i sand it with some 220 paper then primer ?

1st coat of primer on the tray

 

[(FIH) The Don]

subbed for some awesomeness

 

[jellyrole]

This should be good.

 

[Assassin48]

I sanded down the primer to get it smooth and added 1 more coat

I will wait till tomorrow to sand down and paint it

 

[Assassin48]

Quick little update

i got 2 rads in a trade i did , 1x 120 and a 2x 120. There both getting painted but there is a problem with 1 of them. The barb thread is larger then g1/4 so i need to find an adapter or a 1/2"OD 3/4"ID fittings/

Also got a 760 in the mail! My 762 was to long and i didn't need all that power so i went with this.

 

[HammerON]

Nice paint job on the rad.
You should have some fun with that Classi
