Quick update! Hurrah!

Replacment PCI Slot covers arrived earlier on in the week from Kustom PC, I had to buy new ones as the case only came with 1.



I stripped the 120mm fan mounts to be coated black and found a few other bits and pieces to get done at the same time.




Earlier on today I dropped off the chassis and big box o'parts off at the coaters, also left him with a bag of black/silver flakes to have a play around with by putting them in the powder clear coat.

I really don't want to have the chassis sprayed with a normal wet clear coat because it scratches way too easy and it'lll just get damaged knowing me!

Hopefully I can get some good results with the flakes in the powder clear.. we shall find out next week!



Thats all for now folks!

Nice, looking forward to the interesting powder coating...

...Hehe, and with subliminal messaging sheets like that marcus, I'd never get out of bed in the morning...

LOL yeh.. from now on I blame the bedding for me not being able to get out of bed on time!
If all goes well with the flakes in the powder clear coat i'll have found a happy medium between asthetics and durablity on the paint... canny wait to see the test card on Monday!
