If you do it this way theres no way to mess it up since the pins are being covered by the card?

I saw someone do it on bit-tech I think, that masked the board, then spray painted the exposed slots. Then he used an old card and inserted and took it out multiple times and it got the paint off the pins. He said it worked! I cannot remember the name of the mod, but it was no amateur, it was a beast mod. If i find Ill post thumb.gif

I think even if you get paint on the pins, simply inserting and removing a card multiple times to "scrub" the paint off the pins would be adequate and safe.

I have a very dead motherboard, and I have a laser cutter. I'll have to experiment with cutting masks for doing this with an airbrush. Might be worth my time setting it up if anybody would be interested in doing this to an expensive board.
post #20 of 20
Had some time to contemplate this one over the weekend. It would be pretty simple to do. Stuff the ram and card slots with bits of tissue paper. You only need to keep paint from getting into the central slot where the connectors are. Stuff them right up level with the top of the connector. Mask around the connector on the motherboard. Take your time and make sure everything's fully sealed up. Cover the rest of the board with newspaper. Completely mummify it. You don't want any overspray anywhere. As with any good paintjob, attention to your prep is the key to success.

I would recommend using acrylic paint and an airbrush. Build up a few light coats on the connectors. I don't recommend spray paints as the solvents in the can could be extremely nasty to your electronics.
