    Default First time painting

    Finally had a weekend when I didnt have to work so i decided to (attempt to) make my case a lil more appealing.

    I really like the finish on the outside of the case (literally its like a car finish...its so shiny, really hard to take decent pictures of).

    I wanted the inside to match it yet subtely...give it a nice flat black finish. I've been building computer's for a while but I'm definitely an infant when it comes to painting so bear with me .
    Sanding/Masking:




    Primer plus first coat of flat black:



    2nd coat of black plus a light clear coat:


    Well, I didnt want green wires ruining my black/red theme i had goin,

    so, using what I had supplies I had (just electrical tape...ha), I made black covers =)

    And here's the finished product....minus a tad bit more wire management needing to take place.




    I would have used a couple more coats of black to get a more even finish and added a little more attention to detail but 1. it started raining on me so no painting, 2. I needed my comp up and running by the next night, which it rained through the night and humidity = bad for painting. I figure though it was a good learning experience and give it a bit more "stealthy" look, plus it was fun. My first real project will be much better .
