hi everyone ,
1.i want to spray my internal casing area include the HDD,FFD,DVD-ROM holder and the entire mobo holder area.. what type of spray i need to buy ? which brand ? i want it BLACK in colour or other dim colour ..

2.and then i want spray with thing that used to tighten the HDD,FDD,and DVD-rom ... casing is those screwless 1 .. i want spray those plastic to yellow or other bright colour .. that 1 need use wat type of spray ? wat brand ? and fluorocent spray also nice rite ? fluorocent paint got many different colour that will give UV effect rite ?

3. this is my 1st time spray casing , will it looks bad after i spray it ? what to Do and Dont's ?will it look smooth paint job ?

1. how bout matte black or flat black..those in cans and any brand will do

2. any spray also can...as long as u gosok the plastic with sand paper 1st to make sure paint stick to it...yup fluorescent will give UV effect when paired with UV CCFL

3. look for spraying guide on the net and ask from sifus in casing spraying

1-Put a layer of primer,then sand..the apply primer again..
2-apply the color you want (if possible,put 2 layer) to make it deep..
3- go for samurai brand (better go for compressor)

Try it,it wont make ur internal case scratch when u apply screws...

1.how much is that samurai brand cost ?
2.wats the different between matt and flat black ?
3. put a layer of primer ? wats that ?
4. high gloosy black good ma ? and where can buy ?

i used TOA to spray my whole casing, internal n external... flat black dun ned to sand oso looks gd, normal color i dunno la...
flat black n matt black is the same...

1- normally around rm 6-7
2- Its almost the same.
3- primer is like a undercoat..use whether grey of white (depends on what color u r gonna use)
4- glossy black is normal black (NOT matte and flat)..IF u paint it correctly and perfectly,i will give a mirror shine..can be found at hardware shop,motorcycle shop..price around rm 6-7

Hope that helps..

usually for internal casing, flat black will just do fine...no need to spray primer. if if u are aiming for high glossy/mirror effect, primer will be important. there is a lot of tips in the internet....

flat black is a great choice. u will love it =D

ok .. internal flat black ... then i want mod with UV effect ... internal spray with flat black good rite for the effect ... and i just go hardware shop and ask for Flat Black spray rite ?

u only need 3 main things...
1) Paint
2) casing
3) skills

Bro,1 thing left,money..hahaha

oh ya, 1 more thing i 4got, anyway juz my opinion la... internal part of casing better make it flat color, cuz glossy u ned frequently maintenance, dust wil stick on it very fast! correct me it im wrong...

i want spray flat black ... i need sand 1st ? then spray straight away ?

yup..but if u got a complete tools, u can dissemble ur case first..sand it and spray layer by layer..itll take quite a long time but with satisfying result..btw, im using glossy black for my internal casing..nice n cheap!

what i need to do to get a nice paint job ? it look difficult to spray EVEN to whole casing .. there is part by part which i need to spray accordingly .. so , which part i must start from ? that 5 DVD bay and HDD area ? or the mobo area ? or other part?

Here we go dude,take out all the rivets,take them into pieces,then you can separate your your mobo tray,hard disk and cd rom bay,top,bottom and rear plate..

Then,you can go on with sanding down the factory color..

Then you can go on to spray...

Try to look at this------> SPARYING TUTORIAL

dats wut i mean..to get a good paint result u hav to dissemble all tho case part..not only drive bay.. n paint it one by one..but u need drill to remove the rivets and rivetter/small screw to assemble ur case back dude..

u mean i need to take out the HDD slot and the DVD rom slot ? but how to take that out ? no screw at all ... go those punch hole only ...
i dont have drill

HDD and DVD rom slot,you need to take it out by removing the rivets..

But the HDD and DVD cover,its screwless dude,just tear it off and it will not be virgin anymore..its to make sure your spray is level and smooth..

If you dont have drill,try to take it to any garage,ask them to take out those rivets,but need to pay a bit..

Dude,i think you need to invest a bit on tools such as grill..

once i use drill to take the RACK out ,, how am i going to replace it ? use screw ?

Drill to take out the rivets,then you have to install back the rivets..you can find tools for riveting..

yup..u need rivetter to assemble ur case back..the price is less than rm20 including the rivet thingy..u oso can use small screw..

jus use screw wud b nice..hehe later u can separate it w/o any prob..haha myb not satisfied with the color u choose then need to drill the rivet back

what do u mean by RM20 ? the tools ? or what ?
if i dont have drill it that any other method ?
can i what what exactly i need to have to do the job ?with picture is better. thx

agree! u can find small screw at hardware shop..itll b easier if u wanna dissemble ur case in d future..

the rm20 is approximately price for rivetter..btw, u can oso use screw as suggested by bro mfcm..
this is the pic how to drill ur rivet..

u just use the small size of drill bit and drill onto the rivet..rivet is small thing that connecting parts of ur case..i think u should buy a drill..itll cost u around 50-60 for the cheapest 1...

So dude,hows the spraying..? is it done yet..? did you did take all off the parts..?

nop ... will borrow driller from my fren .. but i will do it end of the year .. having my stpm soon .

ok..stdy is more important..gud luck ya!
~ modding wit passion ~

bro.... my casing seems to have the metal thing sticking at there.... but do i need to remove it for better air flow ?

for me i will remove all .. since that after u put back the front panel , u wont see anything thru it .

then i have to pluck it out?

Yup,pull it out,its useless..
or make a 120mm hole for better intake..

agree! as no use for it better turn it to something benefial..120 can fit into those parts nicely..

BUT AFTER FIT IN 120MM FAN ,, NO AIR INTAKE ALSO MA ? COZ FRONT PANEL BLOCKED ALL

it depends on the front panel..

then its time to mod ur case..make a hole so dat itll b a good intake..hurm..btw,as long as theres some space dat allow air to b sucked from its front it should b no problem..

i dont think i can add FAN infront la .. haha

ok..same topic...different question!!! how to make my paint stay stick huh~??only a month after i'm spray my internal casing..the paint came out...espeacialy at the HDD/3.5" panel screw point and the part we side panel slide in..??any idea??

lol..at dat part sure la can easily fade..bcoz its dealing wit friction everytime u r handling ur case..but i think this problem can be reduced by sanding ur case bfore painting job..oso make thicker layer of ur paint..

if u want a good painting result...

like my bro's case...

3 layer of ordinary black can spray - RM6 each... total of 3 cans needed... lil balance left...
2 layer of clear can spray - RM6 each... 1 can enough

avoid windy and high moisture atmosphere..

let it day naturally and really really dry then u continue to the next layer~

total of 5 layers took my bro 6 days to finish it... slow job but nice result... actually he can do it quickly but nothing to be rushed about... so he did it 1 day per layer accept the 3rd layer of black before continuing clear~ extra 1 day gap...

p/s: this is my bro's tip... even me myself didnt follow coz i'm a stubborn lil bro... end up, my case can be easily scratch.. even using nail.... my bro's paint is still good till now... bring it from kuching, fly to penang~ almost 1 year now... no defect..

thats normal dude..if you want the spray to stay stick,use gun spray..

normally,normal spray will be tough if i sand it correctly,apply 2-3 layer of coating,primer..

lastly,try to apply clear coat..

sand with how many GRIT de sand paper ?i mean before painting

There are many types of grit papers..

try 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 ( use with sanding block)

then use old cloth to remove dust before painting..

the best method of sanding i've ever heard... from my dad...

try to sand it under slow water flow... the sanding will be more effective and wont require lots of sand paper...

yala ... then which 1 to buy ? so many type

higher the number, smoother it will be... so. get "nearly smooth" one... number between middle and smoothest... coz it's juz for paint removal purpose only~

1500 grit OK ?? i sand it 1st{original grey colour paint} .. then wash , then spray ... after dry sand and spray again ?

yup,you can try it..or juz get 1200 and 1500..

do wet sanding as mentioned by omara

yup..do wet sanding..it will give u great result..do sand it till a very smooth surface produce..

any results? it's been a while now...

i posted it on casing and modication there .. u can check it out . btw topic closed
