Project: Blue Theme (A HAF 932 Mod)

[Trace]

I'm simply cleaning up, and theming my HAF 932 (review here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/frontpage/?q=node/530))

Adding some LEDs, switching out the red LEDs in the front fan. Some paint, cable management and possibly a mobo cover. Time shall see. I also see a front panel LCD in the works.

Pics to come.


No sketchup or overview, I will be keeping you guys on the edge of your seat :)

EDIT:

Just wetsanded, going to prime a couple more layers, pick up some finer sandpaper 400+grit and wetsand one more time. Pick up the deep blue color while I'm out as well.

I'm going to be making a run to TAP Plastics someitme next week :)

Looking good bud. I gotta get to playing with some led's too.

Blue paint is being laid down! I'm probably up somewhere around 10-15 coats, and I'm nowhere near done. I still need to wetsand for like the 4th time, paint, clearcoat, sand, clearcoat, buff.

[slaveofconvention]

You're going to need wet n dry a LOT finer than 400 when it comes to the clear. I "only" had 1500 and 2000, and I just bought some 2500 - the finer you go, the easier the polish and the better the gloss when you're done...

[Trace]

I know, it's going to be another trip out to the store for clear coat.

EDIT:
So...It looks like TAP Plastics might be doing a sponsorship. Or at least cutting me a deal on plastics!

EDIT2:

Some more pictures of paint, and acrylic should be up tonight

UPDATE:

So, I bent some acrylic. Turned out GREAT...Thanks Kayin!
