There are a couple of drips, but otherwise it's a great overall job. Coverage is very uniform, and matt looks great.

Yea I'm not a painter at all... How would I get rid of the drips? Sand and reapply and hope for the best is the only thing I can think of...

The drips was mostly because of a can of Rust-Oleum is SUCKED hard core... It was spitting and I was slow enough to keep trying after I cleaned the head. Well of course it didn't work so I threw it away and went to the Home Depot and got a different brand and that went a lot smoother. Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, just sand it down with some low grit sand paper and reapply in thin coats. After that, you're ready to rock.

Hehe I went dremel crazy last night... I got my new fans in, but I guess I didn't notice they were 38mm think so the one I was going to put in the front of my case wouldn't fit... so I got a bright idea to just cut a hole in the front of my case so it would fit lol... You can't see it because it's behind a closed front case door. So I guess it came out ok lol... poor sharky
