Triscuit

Ok so dont be to hard one me haha. This is my first time painting a case and i rushed the build process when i should have let it dry over night. here are my pics (not a lot of them because i wasn't totally sure if i was going to post it but i am planning on doing another soon and will do a lot more pics/better job)
the case taken apart

everything i am painting red (minus mobo tray)

Mobo tray primed and ready

expansion slot covers painted (also did the I/O shield but it's not in this pic)

The main part is now painted

The finished product

Like i said it was rushed and the paint was still pretty soft during build so it scratched the hell out of it in places


Any suggestions (besides waiting longer for paint to dry :P) are welcome and i will try to answer all questions asked.

I like the colors. Did you put a gloss coat over the top? That could look nice if you aren't going for the matte look.

Looks like that took alot of time and effort. The matte black i/o plate is a nice touch. I guess if I could make any suggestion it would be to resize you images to something just a bit smaller than 3072x2304. Im on 15mbit cable with 25mbit net burst and the images still took a while to load before automatically resizing.

Gl with your next project.

took a while to load but I say don't resize it. Maybe put a warning at the beginning of the thread saying "images will auto-resize, just be patient"

Looks nice . Love the contrast between the colors. Love the IO plate and expansion covers too .
