The Next Project has kicked off.

A full Color Mod to a Fractal Design Arc Mini R2.

Complete Tear Down and House of Kolor Kandy Paint Job is what this Case Mod is all About.
No fancy Hardware or Metal Fabrication with this one. Its all about the Brandywine Kandy for this one.

My last project "Electric Orange" is Complete, and Life isn't the same with out a Project so here we go again.
This case will act as Storage for 6 Drives that make up my Home Network Storage.

Lets begin with a simple shot of where i take all my Photo's. Nothing Special but works well.

Now for the Fractal Mini R2 in its Original State.













Next up, Lets tear this Motha Down!

Now that the case is in Pieces and I Don't feel like sanding Powder Coat by Hand, I use a Powder Coaters
Acid Tanks to Strip this the Easy Way. Also Picked up some New Feet's From Forum Member FannBlade.

Lets have a Quick peek at the Guts for this Thing. Remember Nothing Fancy. There wont be any Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse etc.
Picture A headless storage Box.





















The Airbrush and HVLP Gun I use to Paint panels and Graphics











Step 1 is to Apply the Foundation for this Beautiful Kandy Paint. HOK KD3000 is the Epoxy Primer i have applied.
One of the most important steps to any paint Job is the Foundation and Prep you Do. Spend your time on these and
the rest of the Work will go a lot smoother.







Now that your Caught up to where i am at, Lets have a Quick Peek at the Actual Color Applied to a panel section.

Updates Follow as i Progress with it.. Thanks for Tuning in.

Oh My God. That's beautiful.
What paint did you use?

 

[Aaron_Henderson]

Yummy...House of Color paints are not cheap, but the results speak for themselves! I used some House of Color Tangerine Pearl or something on a build many, many years ago...but only because I got a huge discount on it at the time. This is going to be pure class

Thank you ..

All Paint From House of Kolor. Galaxy Grey Metallic for the Base , then Brandywine Kandy
Over that. Kandy is translucent so allows that metallic to sparkle.

For the Clear coat I used their USC01 Show Klear.

Thanks for having a look.

Yes sir those paints are spendy, but worth every penny..

I love the contrast from the normal Fractal Design colors, in this case the Brandywine is so unique. It has some sort of effect on me, I like it quite a lot, but... It isn't what I see at all as a "normal" case color.

 

[Hanoverfist]

You know my colours are far from the "Norm"

 

[dman811]

This is true...

 

[Aaron_Henderson]

Are you doing a custom power cable for this one as well? Just curious...

They are top notch though..
