painting

[Brown Hornet]

hey all,quick question what is the best paint i can get and where to paint the faceplates of my drives? just in case you guys care i am also painting inside of case as well



thanks

For the drives, get Krylon Fusion. It requires no prep work for plastic. Another good option is Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric Spray. Its meant for vinyl and fake leather, but it works well on drive covers.

thanks mr N8 i seen the krylon fusion last night at wal mart.guess i will get a can today

Krylon is a great paint overall , drys fast too. Get the clear Krylon too to spray over your paint job after, itll make it shine real nice.

i already did. thanx

I am also into the idea of painting ... for my build but do you have an idea of where sells or advertises paint for PC's

[Brown Hornet]

davour, are you painting the inside of case or outside?

[davour]

thinking of both

[Brown Hornet]

inside is easy.strip everything out,light sanding then paint.i bought regular black paint.but later bought heat resistant paint just in case.looks nice with my widowed case.also painted my cd/dvd drive faceplates to match front of case.suggest auto paint for outside of case.let me know how it turns out

[davour]

got any pics... id really like to see what a painted inside looks like without the side fo the case n the way

[Brown Hornet]

i will be putting everything in tomorrow.will work on photo

[not important]

I painted the inside of my case white. I'm real pleased with the effect. I've tried differnt colored cathodes and the white really reflects the colors.

Im also thinking of painting the inside of mine, id like to see pics of yours with the inside painted white :)

[davour]

I wanna see how good the painting looks.... i wanna see if it is worth painting mine at all or using lighting

Im not doing both, dont wanna over do it

[nocturnx]

pic links are not working. Im thinking of going with red paint on the inside once i seem some pics of others to see how the inside paint turns out.

does anyone know a site where i could get all 16 colors of krylon fusion? walmart has a small selection, and all the home improvement stores around here don't carry it. thanks.

[Brown Hornet]

you can order a catalog here http://www.krylon.com/

[davour]

Why when i see Krylon and I thinking "Green" and "Red/Blue Leotards?"

not sure,if not them they should be able to refer you to a retailer who carries all there products.why all 16 colors?

[homer15]

well, not all 16 per se, but a place where i can get, say, black if i need it. or forrest green or something.

i know wal-mart has a small selection.i ended up painting my drive faceplates silver to match front bezel.looks great and cheaper than buying new drives.the black inside looks nice as well.the last thing i am getting is this,http://svc.com/comamusi.html that should hold me for at least 6 months
