[lvanhorn2]

this must be one of the funnest jobs in the world

[Faxtron]

What spray paint do you use ?

[1stDrXTreme]

Very nice work. I have built cars for years, and your case painting technics are at the top of the charts. I am especially impressed with your ability to quickly and effectively discriminate the information required to be successful doing paint mods. Your advice and technical skills should be followed by anyone who if wanting to put a great finish on anything from a mod case, model car or a full on custom rod!...Well Done! I can't wait to see the next project you do.

can acetone strip paint?

[bigdzzplace]

sure does..one thin wet coat of epoxy and your good to go..sand blasting warps the hell out of steel panels cause it creates heat. Epoxy comes in a number of colors as well so you buy less paint cause you have a good ground coat. TC

[b2bHans]

Are u spraying from about 25-30cm?

Or closer?

[brnmick]

Great Tutorial Bro, definitely a big help!

[bigdzzplace]

quick trick on the primer guys...no sanding involved when using epoxy primer. Been in the auto trade for years. if ya want to test this theory take a glass dish/drinking glass spray thin coat epoxy primer and let it dry. then try and scrape it off with a razor blade! Just passing on some time saver stuff to ya...TC

[liightheaded]

does it come out the same? like quaility

[acer0169]

@bigdzzplace just a couple layers of epoxy and then any paint on top, then clear layer?

[nutballzzz]

Hey do you have a link of where i can get epoxy primer ?

I want to paint the inside on my case.

[sacrux]

Has anyone just did the self etching primer without coating over it? I am thinking of just using the primer and saying hell with it.. I am painting the inside of my case black and really like a matte black finish..

[ownTer]

@denne22222

Sand it, prime it with a decent plastic primer. Then paint with a paint that is made for plastic. Should be fine. Just do really thin coats. Seems to run really easy.

[denne22222]

Thx i appreciate the tip...

[denne22222]

I have a question... is it possible to get this type of finnish on plastic parts as well? I have a NZXT Tempest and i am thinking to getting a mirror finish on the outside and paint it blavk and red inside with some cold cathode lights.. Any suggestions? Dennis

[manochapchap]

does it matter that kind of paint i use?

[firebatex]

ahahahahah im an auto detailer, and i do this kinda stuff on cars all the time !!! {happy face}

[SPLITZRZR]

nice

[KOkun]

man that looks gorgeous lol

[shigalbigal]

can't i spray only paint? why o i need this "self etching primer" ?

[commandercup]

self etching primer helps the paint adhere to the metal, without it your paint will not stick well and may flake/peel significantly sooner then if you had used primer.

[shigalbigal]

thanks man :)

[syndromeskim2]

if you decide to not wetsand can you just to a clear coat and also do you have to do a clearcoat if you do wetsand

[MonsterMawd]

You can just apply clearcoat and not wetsand if you wish. You don't have to wetsand before applying clearcoat if you don't want to.

[danielkraak]

The wetsanding is to get the paint nice and flat and to get the bubbling structure out of it.

[commandercup]

you are a beast... looks like a machine applying that primer!

[SPLITZRZR]

NICE VIDEO

[knuckles305786]

I just wanna know, what is the procedures of painting a case.....

[5ombra]

simple wet sand, primer ,paint, and clear coat

[knuckles305786]

When can you do my case?

[NoxeN2008]

and im using Krylon Primer

[MonsterMawd]

I only use "SEM Brand" self etching primer, as used in the video

[NoxeN2008]

yea i think... i just sand it and primer it agin it turn out just fine. got my hot rod red on my thermaltake LanBox looks pretty sweeeet. just gotta let it set now. put it on youtube in few weeks guessing June 7th

[NoxeN2008]

spray paint sucks... get all these tiny bumps.. of course im not a painter. :/

[commandercup]

thats if you don't do it right... spray paint jobs can look great as well, you were probably seeing overspray which is when a certain area gets too much spray

or your paint wasn't shaken up and was cold... try putting the can in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes next and then shake it up

[NoxeN2008]

just been practicing on old case panels.

[NoxeN2008]

good videos... im trying learn much as i can how to paint for my skulltrail project. i got myself Cooler Master Cosmos S case. all i want to do the case just paint inside black.

[tombml]

[AirbrushTricks]

This is a great painting vid.

[sweetaznate]

[sneeks71]

[rerkin88]

[2eureka4]

[NZKartsport]

[MonsterMawd]

[Foxontherun2]

[JXintheZ]

Really nice paint job and cool case.

[Schmauges]

A lot of work. But wow that is really great !

[Skott62]

Looking real nice. Cant wait to see the finished mod.

[HappyfrownProduction]

Great video, i like how you did this one, but i like how the others were done more. Doing it in person gives it a more personal feel and makes it feel less like a commercial lol. But good video in all, it taught me a lot since i have been actually looking at modding a micro case.
