The $4.03 paint job

[The_Beast]

I didn't really mod it too much I just painted from the standard white


Side panel sanded down to the metal

The other panel and top sand to the metal

Sorry I didn't get pics to the paint job in progress

Side panel painted

Side and top panel

Close up of the vent

The front painted(I left the 3.5" and the 5" bays along with the power and reset buttons unpainted because I'm thinking of painting them Fire Red)

Close up of the shiney front

All the panels and front are primed, painted and clear coated with a "rattle" can paint. The paint job cost a whopping $4.03 (.97 primer, $1.94 of paint [2 cans] and $1.12 for clear coat). Ohh yeah I spend $5 for a wire drill brush. I spent more on the brush then the paint job


Here is a pic of the internals of the case

i'd put this in the post your case mods thread, but it is really cool. i haev a similar case that is beige, think i'll try what you did.

[The_Beast]

I did all the prep(sanding, cleaning, priming)

my brother did all the painting

Looks nice

Why not paint that white stuff (I'm not sure what they are, there are no letters on it so either they're already stealthed Drives or they're stealthed but without the drives or something ) ?



ps, you have a Kodak C875 ?

 

[aSc1@3]

they are drive bay covers for empty drive bays.

is it just me or did the side of the case looked good sanded down without the paint?

Ya I thought the same, but you'd have problems with rust after awhile I'd think. You could rub a light coat of oil on it, but that would attract dust...

I told myself if the paint job didn't work out it would sanded back down to the metal and left like that

[CPTMuller]

thats some nice work, if my front bezel wasn't plastic I would try this myself on an old case.

couple layers of clear coat would prevent the rust
