Painting inside of case? - Overclock.net

rustler753 · 08-06-05

I just thought of a teriffic idea. I want to paint the inside of my case some color . I don't know what it is and I want you to tell me!

Also I have NO IDEA of how to do this AT ALL. Do I use primer? Sand EVERYTHING down? Use some kind of crazy paint? What?

Also I have 2 leds hot glued to the chassis for a cd rom mod and would like not to remove them. You think I can sheild them from paint properly or should I just remove them and hotglue them again?

ANY suggestions are welcomed with open arms.

here are some pics so you get the theme of my computer, with its lighting and all...also the wiring for the chassis I mentioned minus the LEDS that are attached now. Those atomic grills you see are going to be blue so keep that in mind as well.

lightly sand down the whole inside, just quickly, to scratch it up so the paint sticks

you dont need to prime the inside.. just do a few light coats of the colour, it looks really good i've seen it done

for the leds, i'd just take them off but u can just cover them up and paint

yep do what he says

but do not paint it solid green... it will look horrible

the inside is supposed to look like the inside...

lol I concur....green everywhere would look..well scary.
What color should I use then? If any at all?

Also like I asked RS already, would any of the colors even show up? you know with all the cathodes I have and everthing, should I just leave it silver?

I am afraid that this mod idea is dying fast....

I think red or blue would look cool, wait, how is ur mod idea dying fast, we just got started

iono, it jsut seems the more I look at the case, what if the paint goes wrong? Or maybe the cathodes will over power the paint and it will just look weird...

its just hard to undo a mod of this scale you know...all my other mods could have been replaced or repaired but fix an entire case after a boo boo?

find a cardboard box, paint the inside of it, and put your side panel and cathode in there, see how it looks
