At the beginning i just wanted to take everything out n clean the dust...while i was dismantling my mobo,fans, ram ,proc n etc....i found out my casing was heavily scratched and feel like giving it a new paint...so i started my small little paint job....actually i din plan to post this topic, but on my 2nd thought "Y NOT?" and i missed the 1st few photos...

U can c all the parts are on the floor and my casing was at my balcony...



Too many dust in my PSU...decided to clean them


BEFORE


AFTER


The whole casing is sent to the CLEANING DEPARTMENT (my toilet)


As u can c here....i've sand certain area of my side panel, becoz those are the area that i accidentaly scartched them


After the cleaning....all of them were left to dry at the balcony...so nothing i can do

Wah! Nowadays balcony also got toilet bowl

wuahahha....high tech right?!

ASUS P5NE-SLI ! ! ! LOL

sand it more dude....use the 1000,1200 and dude.so that you won't see any swirl after you paint.

errmm,think not supposed to be dude shes a gal can mod oso?
hahaha just joking.GO GIRL GO

opps! sorry...good luck mate...

Ermm..whats the modification gonna be besides paint?..you know lah the mod on this thread
btw....GAMBATEHHH!!

haven thought of any yet...besides, no tools here. all my tools are in hometown... the only thing i got with me is spray can, sand paper, poly putty, and some acrylic....other than painting..i think i will change the litter LCD's led colour to Red....and all the LED on my Fan to RED (coz originally is colourful)

wow...we can call her.....TECHGIRL.

p.s - bro shawty, i borrow the pic ok...

hahahhaaha.....or u should say foreGAL.....

Hmm, cant wait to see the monster!

its ok,but sand it up and down,you won't realize much swirl after applying the paint.
keep trying.i will try to guide.

my alien is almost done.Roughly 30% more since i decide to use the LCD,so i need more time to finish them by end of this month.

there isn any monster lar.... CJ7 mayb

Please resize all pics. 640x480 is more than adequate. 800x600 to show fine detail work.

I hardly believe that u need an adjust spanar to open casing? sure boh? and ur psu open cover means no warranty lo

actually the spanar is use to knock those who disturb me when i'm doing my work

warranty? no lor...even if it spoil still i won able to get warranty...coz i bought it from europe...hahhahaa!!!

ok...no problem

Updates...but disaster.....

I repaint my casing in flatblack. first i used this brand (DPI) of Spraycan for my Top panel


After done with my top n right side panel of spraying...my can is empty coz i spary for few layers to cover up the heavily scratch part and those part which i've sand...to get my work done quickly, i went to the nearest hardware shop n get another flat black. unfortunately, the hardware shop doesn sell the brand that i use to spray my top panel....so i got this instead...BOSNY...a chapalang brand i think, coz i nv heard this brand before.(Uploaded the wrong pic-white colour)


and then....DISASTER STRIKES!!!!i think u guys can tell the differences right? the chapalang Bosny turn into FOAM BLACK!!!!! not FLAT. and it is kinda powdery when u touch the surface of the paint even it is completely dry ....consider a failure... need to repaint


Left (DPI ) Right (Chapalang Bosny)


i thought i can finish my exterior spraying to...but...the Bosny brand of spray really spoil my mood....i think i will continue my work tomorrow

I think m2n-e also know this problem...he is the person who thought me this word "Foam Black". I cant imagine how is foam black when he told me, but now i can c it clearly for myself...

bathroom need cleaning too looooooool
good luck

hi TS.. wht do u mean by foam black? er.. i dun see any difference from the photo...

those dirty parts u c on the floor of my bathroom are cause by the paint tat i sanded from my side panels....my toilet are clean enough....tatz y i do the sanding in my toilet...

did u notice that the right(side panel) a more blurry then the left (top panel)...and the colour is darker(no shineness at all)...the side panel's flat black looks like a foam black means it looks like those foam and it doesn gives the steel effects....

a bit blurry... u got the wrong idea sis..
foam black is like a foam color and looks like foam which have air bubble on the sprayed part. that foam black. its dull and not totally up to my expectation for flat black as i hope.

Most ppl were expecting hot rod flat black.

air bubble?...den i know y....are u mixing 2 kind of black spray together? those air bubble are cause by chemical reaction...coz there are certain brand of spray can in the market that u CAN'T N MUSN'T mix them together...or else.....once u spray them on each other....bubbles will appear...

i bought a new flat black....hopefully i can get the flat black i was expecting...

hi sis.. im still dont understand.. all you want is foam black isit? foam black is not shinny black isit?

no no.....wat i was expecting is flat black...those glossy black...but it turn out to be foam black....0% shininess...flat black will at least have 20-30% of shinniness...

Added on May 20, 2008, 5:07 pmYEY ...new updates.... hehehehe

TADAAaaaa~~~~pls welcome my new casing !!! Samurai's Metallic Red.....


Another view of my Metallic Red casing


Bling bling effects Among all the spray can that is available in the market, i like Samurai the most...other than its fine molecule of paint, its good for mixing colour 2.....Sparying 2 colour at the same time.... but i din do it on this casing coz i was kinda lazy n it is kinda hard, its been quite sometime i din do the double can spraying technic which taught by my lecturer


the outcome isn't that shining on the mobo tray coz i did the spraying during the nite time at the stair case...


to make sure it still shines even it is spray under a cold enviroment...i call out my baby to giv it a BLOW JOB
hahaha, don think someting else ok?!! it is a job of blowing the casing using a hairdryer.....
this baby is power enough to make the steel goes up to 70-80 degres at the speed of 7000rpm ++


tonite i will continue my work on the staircase.....CLEAR to be apply on the casing...YEY! after that its my f**king foam black panels

ok guys....its time for me to go swimming lor......tata
