More paint questions

Well so far I've only painted the frame and the drives. And the panel on the left, like a grill. It was brown. It's hardly a paint job, but thanks for the comments.
There's a rubber gasket thing goes around the drive bays, that's also brown.
I might attack it with tyre black or similar.

Hmm, yeah, I remember the gasket, but I remember all the stuff you're saying is brown being black. What I always liked about the Deskpro case was that it reminded me of a Dodge Charger (late 60's era) grill. I think if I had one of those cases I'd have to figure out a way to put two motorized hinged doors on either side in the front and do that whole Charger thing, probably paint the case Orange, make it a General Lee mod.

Nope, it's a very dark brown. Like plain chocolate.

The two plates on the right are black, the gasket round them and the plate on the left are brown. Were brown.

General Lee eh? hack the BIOS so that the POST beep plays dixie...

Yeah, that's a somewhat changed around Deskpro, default it wouldn't have had the beige hardware in it at all. I'll have to do a render of what I'd do with one so you can see what I mean. Anyway, my Deskpros were all black with the beige exterior, no brown on 'em. I think I'd get tired of Dixie after a few times though.

Ok, here it is.
