The grill at the bottom near the rad should be black IMO.

This is my first time ever using this program (fancier than paint) so please don't laugh too hard at how bad it looks!!

Thanks.. it was pretty simple actually you just select a region then go to color balance and you can increase/decrease the magenta, yellow, and cyan balance. So if it starts out black and you mess with the color balance you can get it to be whatever color you want. Also for the interior I just highlighted that area and turned the brightness down to make it darker.. I'm still a gimp noob though, only used it once!

Here, I did a version with black grill for everyone to see. I like orange better, as that grill is really big. had it been smaller I would have went with black. What does everyone else think?

Quick question:

I haven't decided on a coolant yet. I want a nice deep blue that will be highlighted by the UV light, but not necessarily turn super brigh UV. Examples of bad and good:

BAD

GOOD

Which would be a good coolant to use? I've heard Feser 1 is pretty good but the UV blue looks too much like that bad pictures. Do you think i can just mix a little UV reactant a regular blue coolant and see what it does? Maybe set up the whole rig and drip in UV fluid through the fill port until I like what the loop looks like?

Used UV black which turns a nice purple/blue under UV. Looks real good, especially with coils around it.

And, black grill ftw.

I'd probably make the front buttons black too

NoodleGTS · 03-09-09

Haha okay i see that everyone is going crazy over black accents! I will paint the side and top grills black, and probably the power button too. Also there will be a black danger den fillport up top. That should keep you all happy!
