yap i sprayed it

instead of applying coats of paint, i just pointed the nozzle far away and just use the paint dust/particles to stick onto the wraps.layer by layer.

it sticks perfectly as long the layers are not too thick. thumbup.gif
if its too thick,the paint'll look glossy

so far the color on the wraps will only worn off/scratched by excessive force.

fluoro pink wraps

painted wraps vs plain wraps

this is how my casing looks like.

however its an old pic and the current case already had the funny arse 'z' thingie removed.and the sleeve already changed to a red 1.

one of my uv sticks also broke.lol.terpijak when i removed it 4 cleanin. sweat.gif

Objective:
BTX transformation
Make a top panel window
renovate the side panel
interior flat black
exterior metallic black

the mods are currently undergoing so pics up soon. rclxms.gif


keep in mind that:
-this is my first time doin a major mod sweat.gif
-i only have a drill and a grinder in my power tools collection( semua pinjam)


so,expect things to get ugly tongue.gif lol
