Isn't Ferrari paint like, $14 million per quart or something equally outrageous?

I have a feeling House of Kolor paint is quite a bit cheaper...

Either that, or Bill has someone on the inside at Ferrari... In which case, I need a hellacious deal on a new car... Or even a used one, for that matter...

Hey dudes, it's a custom mix based on their factory color paint specs.. It's an Automotive Acrylic Urethane by Omni. Applied with HVLP (hi-volume-low-pressure) spray gun

DANG! I guess my mid-life-crisis-chick-magnet car will have to wait a little longer, then...

The panels are looking SAH-WEET, though, Bill!

My mid-life crysis car will be VW Rabbit

The Lian Li A-70 is first up. The original window was freakin pop-riveted onto the panel! I thought theres no way I'm going to re-install with that method. I drilled out the holes and use anodized screws. I'm assembling the Silverstone TJ09 next, with it's sportscar inspired side intake ducts that case ought to really fit the Ferrari paint! More to come!



Lets take it outdoors for more photos, Wow! what a reflection!

hehe ^ it sures feels like it

I do have a small update on the Silverstone Tj09, heres the side and top panels after re-installing the black perforated factory grills. This case fits that paint theme beautifully! I should the final pics up this coming week.

FERRARI RED + Black trim + Bill behind the spray gun = WIN

That Silverstone is looking damned sexy and it's not even re-assembled yet

P.s. I'm probably the only human on this rock to say this, But I've also always loved
the yellow Ferrari use! It's got to be the sexiest yellow I've ever clapped eyes on!

HOTTT, schmottt! I'm in straight-up LUST!!!

This would have to be the one case where no one would mind having some 120mm Tornados screaming along inside it, they'd probably think it was the engine whine of a straight-off-the-line Testarossa or something...

The wife said that she would leave me if I bought ANOTHER case anytime soon... I guess I'm going to miss her...

Bill, you have PM with some ideas...

That Red and Black together look freakin' sweet.

You remember the paint and body guy we used to have here named Insomniac? I sent him a case to paint and unfortunately it turned out so good that he decided to not return it, but I kept a couple of preview shots he sent me. The Silver was some sort of new high-reflective paint that if I remember correctly, cost $600 a pint. But damn, it sure did look nice on that Red.

lol @ John, maybe if you bought one of those rocketfish cases from Best Buy. It would show her you're only buying good deals. Thanks for the feedback bro

BA, I'll take care of you and promise to return it after... Lemme know anytime bro

I must say, as a case connisuer, the intake duct layout on the Silverstone TJ09 is really sick! Both the A70 and TJ09 are in route to Hank for his approval. The A70 should arrive tommorow, the TJ09 on Monday
