Painting The Xigmatek Fan

Here I show how to remove the fan blades from a Xigmatek 140mm Fan housing in preparation for paint. Also I show my very simple technique for painting.

4:07 DUST!  hahaha

[WestCoastMods]

@WeirdoMikey2T Thats not dust...it's a ghost...LOL

[abgersaurus]

what if it does'nt have a o-ring at the back?

[WestCoastMods]

@abgersaurus Some fans just pop off...some have o-rings and some do not. it will take a little force to get them off, put eventually the blades should just pop off....but proceed with caution as you can break it too...lol

[MrGrandDragon]

Would it be a good idea to place news paper as apposed to a a grill? I think that would absorb any excess liquid that flows off from the fa blades??

I attempted to spray my fans and the results were very bad... uneven paint and blobs on the surface due to the paint dribbling down.

[WestCoastMods]

@MrGrandDragon Use several thin light coats.......the paint dripped because you put the paint on to heavy.

@saiky3112 Are you colored blind? it went from orange to red...DUH!
