I looked at the pieces really closely under my lights in my room and they look normal, maybe it was just the way the light was reflecting off the paint, some dry some sorta dry.

Today I cut out the side panel design and painted it, then painted some more on my case and put some parts into it and make some special motherboard tray because Dell did some stupid crap.
On the panel there is some white paint around on the blue, but tomorrow I'm painting over it with more blue.

So I'm tired and such so I'm not getting as much work done daily as I'd like, but tomorrow I should be able to get my acrylic window in... here's some pictures. ugh I need to get off my lazy ass and go to sleep before 3 in the morning so I can wake up at reasonable hours to work all day..

I'll tighten all the bolts when I'm done the case.

Well I feel like I'm just posting to myself so don't be afraid to post if you look!
Tomorrow I'm starting the acrylic panels so it should get more interesting

today I don't really even know what I did, I think I got my bottom fan in? and my motherboard... Eh what ever, picture time. In the pictures you see some of my scratch lines for cutting holes to make it less cable messy.
Some of the holes don't look good, because Dell put alot of stupid pointless holes on the bottom and motherboard tray.

yeah, I hate dell cases for their proprietary BS. Your mobo mount scares me a little, but maybe that's cause I can't see the way you're attaching it.

I like the colors! I wonder if the blue effect you're seeing might be due to a clogged spray can nozzle. (like what happens when you don't turn the can over when done, and spray out a little till it's clear.) It can give uneven spray patterns like that. You can swap in another nozzle and see if it makes a difference. (My local ace even sells replacement nozzles by themselves!) That said, I kinda like the mix of darker and lighter blue!
