Thanks! I'd be interested in seeing yours after you get working on it.

Well I have another update!

Update 5 - Painting Part 2

So I didn't quite like the look of the paint I used yesterday. Considering it was actually primer, I went out and got some new spray paint. I think I won the lottery! It wasn't the kind CramComplex suggested but the kind I got was EXTREMELY close. It was Rustoleum metallic colored. Sorry, I don't have the can on me and it's downstairs and I don't want to check. I'll check later if anyone is interested. It is NOT the chrome color. Well... let's get started!

2012-06-28113846.jpg

Paint soaking. Oh hey! There's what kind of paint it is!

2012-06-28114329.jpg

Paint booth set back up.

2012-06-28114352.jpg

Close up of primer.

2012-06-28121109.jpg

Case prepped for painting. This is really annoying to do because it's a tedious process but it keeps the paint off of the legs.

2012-06-28121318.jpg

First coat. Ooh... shiny!

2012-06-28122641.jpg

First coat of paint on the PSU housing.

2012-06-28122710.jpg

Some closeup shots. You can see in the last one that I got too much paint on the inside of the housing so I had to wipe it off and spray again. Kind of looks like crap. rolleyes.gif

2012-06-28133828.jpg

Second coat on the case.

2012-06-28133851.jpg

Second coat on the housing. This coat looked much better.

2012-06-28142913.jpg

Tape peeled off so you can see how close of a match it is. Pretty darn close!

2012-06-28142936.jpg

Sorry for the last two pictures being dark. It started to sprinkle so I brought the stuff inside the garage.

Well that's it for today's update, I have a lot more work planned for this weekend. I think I'm going to do all of the cutting this weekend and paint the upper shelf as well. Hope you guys enjoyed it! Remember, post any comments/concerns/ or questions below! Thanks!

Subbed... I'm really looking forward to the way that this turns out.

Not super relevant, but i'm in a pc-v354a right now since I loved the silver aluminum look of the macs but I wanted to build my own pc.
