yes i did actually wear one my cuz said the 2k paint is really bad
well i sis the top coat of paint today but it started running on the side panel and motherboard tray so those have to be done again
and i didn't have enough room to hang all of it up, so the rest will have to be turned and spray as well
hope i can get the rest done tomorrow then maybe the case will be done on Saturday night

just to tell you guys that black 2k paint looks like you are looking in a black mirror
sorry don't have any pics of the spraying (didn't want the camera to get sprayed with paint)

Then you will finish far ahead of me :( With all the trouble and distractions I had here mine will only be finished next week somewhere, but it's coming on very nicely. Not to hack your thread further with my mod, I'll update my own shortly :wink:

Just gone through the whole thread. A LOT of effort from scratch. Very nice work dude. The workmanship looks perfect but I'd like to see more professional photo's to confirm that.
WELL DONE :wink:

Nice wez. Really good work. You at least have patience and the professional touch. Most people would just stick the sqaure pice of plexi for the window. Nice effort in doing it to shape.
I love the way the light comes through your mesh bezels. My new case also has those so shot for the idea. :wink:

Just my personal opinion: Have you got any idea how wicked those strips will look in UV reactive paint, since they're on mesh?

:salute: yes sir :salute:
i was going to do it today but it wet out side


note: if someone sprays mesh just watch out that you don't spray too much other wise the holes clog up
