Started Painting my PC

Before

Heres the Inner Skin of the computer(Part im painting) And the paint behind,Im using a Red called Swift Red,with just some normal old primer and some Metal Flake Candy Apple to finsh it off

Heres the Outer skin(Will be painted Black along with the rest of the white parts of the computer at a later date)

Here it is all primed up and ready for the 1st coat of "Swift Red"

After two coats of "Swift Red"

After two coats of Candy Apple,and put back together

The next Stage is to paint the white bits black,thats gonna take a bit more time because i've got to fill up some Vents in the side that arnt needed now that im getting some more fans

Nice dude - did you use plastic adhesion promoter (aka plastic primer) beforehand?
If not, you might want to see how well it's stuck on (give it a scratch with your fingernail)

Plastic generally needs special treatment before using regular primer

(hey, shouldn't this be in your worklog?

)

As for the filling of the vents - just invest in some car bodyfiller - give the vents a sand, spread some stuff in there and build it up. Then sand it back until it's flush - with paint on there, you won't spot it!

That's fine - 'round here a worklog is one place where double posting's not a bad thing (so long as it's updates

)
