Test fitting before powder coating

Powder coating took around a day to complete. Sent it to a shop just behind my house. Friendly guy, was very informative regarding my skeptics. Of course gave the best price. A reminder for those doing powder coating, MAKE SURE YOU COVER THE THREADED SCREW HOLES. Or else it will be a PITA getting your screws in after powder coating. My first epic failure with this mod was not covering the crew holes

With some effort and ghetto tactics, i did manage to use all required screw holes

Hit a couple of snags with the mobo tray and PSU mounting. Thanks to some ghetto mods, all are easily dealt with

First thing to do after back from powder coat, re-fitting (too damn afraid screw holes have gone useless)



All in and looking good



A little bit from the front



Some detail at the back (dang, should have coated the back panel I/O )



Some small things i get to coat



Overall the i would rate the coat job 8/10. minus 2 points for some parts not fully coated (i can overlook this anyway), and coating is peel-able/scratch-able (quite hard to achieve this but i did peeled/scratched off some area while working on it). 8 points mostly for the PRICE and friendly people working there. Now i'm thinking of doing a service for LYN

Update Weekend August 9th 2010

it was a busy weekend, but managed to squeeze in some mod time.

test mount bitspower x station, tried some of those LiLi fans. quiet but not enough ummppphhh!



disaster strikes, epic failure no. 2!

top cover triple rad mount. forgot to secure one side of LiLi's top cover. that's what you get





reapply more masking tape before cutting the top blow hole



definitely a lesson learned, double check everything before taking the plunge. now, damage control.

or custom rad grill to cover up the flaw. taking some time off to kumpul the duit

lol...i can't see much points for this tread.

just started, so stay tuned..

woot....nice stuff u got there bro...
9x scythe GT
for powder coat how much it cost bro??

heheheee, i got 4 GTs with me now. 5 more on the way inside airplane
powder coat is super cheap, but not totally scratch proof. I assure you not more than RM100 without paint stripping

wow...already update with powder coat pic...soooooo niceeeeeeee
what case is that bro??lian li??
if i want to powder coat haf932 for interior n back of the case only how much bro??
future planning lol...
now still using using a noob case...

salah tulis bro, 'not less' should be 'not more'. apesal aku banyak salah tulis harini.

powder coat haf932 is around rm100, extra charges to me to dismantle your case. if you can pop rivets yourself, cheaper
but i would suggest you go for haf-x, all black interior around RM550++
haf932 - rm430 + powder coat rm100

oh yeah, that's a Lian-Li PC-A77B

wow nice paint job there bro
...u do it ur self?
if i know how to bancoh the paint
sure i do it..lol but i dont have the tools
myb can send my TJ07 to u for powderzz huhuhu..
nice lili there its my 2nd choice if not TJs

only got flat black for powder coat??

takde gloss black ker ?

waitin update

nope i did not do it myself. but i did all rivets popping myself, LOL. this is done at a coating shop near my house.
i was thinking of buying a tj07 myself, but opted for this one because it's rm300 less and pretty rare to find a build on it.
can send your case to me. max rm100 only

gloss takde arr reben. semi gloss ada tapi tak recommended. they kinda do a lousy job on the semi gloss coat based on the sample i got. flat black (rough surface) on the other hand, mmg cun.

more updates in 2-3 days. now have to go back and design some rad grills (using your 1mm alu) and side panel window

wah so cun war..

adoii.. was looking for gloss black.. the price looks pretty reasonable edi

lepas ni buat airbrush mcm obsidian 800D mr.joe haha

gloss diorang ni buat tak rata. mainly maybe because clientele diorang just org buat pagar rumah je aku tengok. so takde workmanship as good as those car paint shop.

kalau airbrush aku nak gambar awek bogel je, tu yg susah sikit nak buat tu
