Just threw some paint on the case!

[CrackerJack]

Just decide to paint the inside of the case. I was always wanting black, but nothing shiny or fancy. So i went with a slight rough texture. My camara sucks, the case is actually alittle bit darker. Tell me what ya'll think!

It looks good Crackerjack! I think you did a great job at it!

[JrRacinFan]

Good job CJ. Now to put the parts back in and get your C/M where it was before. ;)

[Silverel]

Is that a textured paint? IS it textured anyways? I like it, it looks rugged. :)

[CrackerJack]

It's wheel paint, like MK use's. Thanks MK!!!

[Cold Storm]

Hmmm how'd that work with my cosmos!?!? lol.. need to be black inside!

[thoughtdisorder]

Nice job! Thanks for showing the paint, if it comes out that good I'll have to keep that brand in mind! :toast:

[AsRock]

Cool :). Look even better when ya got it altogether too :).

[CrackerJack]

Just let ya'll know the primer doesn't last long (Both cans are brand new). lol I just enough for this case. Primer sprays out faster. But i've got about 1/8 can of black left. Just because it's sticks that well. I only had to do touch ups once. I've still got a few light spots, but nothing big. Nobody going see it anyways.

[Gam'ster]

Yeah thats nice, very industrial look i like a lot, Good job.

Cheers

Lookin' good, that Duplicolor paint is excellent! I went with flat black on my case to be simplistic, but I definitely like the look of the metallic!

[Oliver]

Can't wait to see the build............might get a few ideas:D

[commandercup]

are you taking the pictures with flash on?

makes it seem washed out... otherwise nice

[JrRacinFan]

Oooh I love!!!! <3<3<3

[kenkickr]

Very nice and clean CrackerJack!! I wish you could here my applause:rockout:

[AsRock]

Sweet, You planing any thing else for it ?.. Such a buzz comes from building your own PC and painting it. Much more better feeling and getting a DELL or some thing lol.

[MKmods]

Nicely done CJ. Painting even a small piece is like art, It takes a lot of practice.

That primer adheres very nicely to metal and gives the top coat something good to stick to. Ur right it never lasts long enough, I usually go through 2 cans of primer on a case (I usually sand a bit between coats)

They also have a clear coat for the wheel paint if you decide you want it to be a bit shinier.

i haven't decided yet, i'm open to ideas

[jbunch07]

i just noticed that pain you used seems to match that xigmatek cooler just right.
