after 2 layer of primer and one layer of matt white, weird on pics its not white. that what appen when you take pics with phone
still a lot of job and painting need to be done
another Update
Thanks Hooded
I hope the Bluberry pastel will pop and keep the "really Clean look with crystal Clear white"
I think matt white are the right finish, I don't think glossy are good for plastic,
anyway
a couple more pics, I hope little bit better
http://s2.photobucket.com/user/snef/media/Icy Blue Angel/IMG_0027_zpsd0f4e6e4.jpg.html
really like the finish of the paint, like I said, similar to bitfenix case, I like that
and this fane controller are made in brush aluminum, not really good with Caselabs finish,
I give a shoot of sanding, juste for sure
http://s2.photobucket.com/user/snef/media/Icy Blue Angel/IMG_0029_zps5d13c25d.jpg.html
this one is for showing the white glow, I will make some test with white light and blue light in the case, white light is not so bad
http://s2.photobucket.com/user/snef/media/Icy Blue Angel/IMG_0037_zps0998bf66.jpg.html
and now the star of this project (sure, after Caselabs SM8):cheer2:
http://s2.photobucket.com/user/snef/media/Icy Blue Angel/IMG_0035_zps79a96729.jpg.html
I think need a color light on this one, with a blue reflect on thermal armor, the effect will be really good

another little update
im on vacation and why not trying take some picture
I really need a better camera than Canon SX10
results
First, Bitspower Z-Tank 250mm
Not so bad with mounting kit in white instead of black
Rad
XSPC EX360 in White with one set of Fan (blue led fan), one on top and one in front of the case
Tubing and fittings
all tubing will be Bitspower Crystal link and coolant will be Mayhems Blueberry pastel
I really like the result with white fitting with a real clear tubing , the blue will pop in a white rig
some angle adapter, stop fittings, thermal sensor and thumbscrew
Received new toy today
Little teaser
receive a little goodies from CaseModContest
I would say Thanks to CaseModContest and specially to FatherFuzzy
to ship these to me and add a little plus
a Red Mustang 68 Shelby GT500
