Very nice.. looks like it came stock that way. :eek:

[angomeka]

wow thats cool :D

[AMDHyp]

Did you paint the blue?

[iLuminatae]

yep - both blue and black

[schultz]

that's awesome! nice job man! now if only i had the skill to do that...or the patience...hmmm...maybe later..i'll think about it... ;)

nice job! (to repeat myself)

[Ashpool]

Considering it's just a picture posted in the intarnetweb, I must say that that's one hell of a spray you did there. If you didn't mention that it was you're work, a lot of people would think that it was built like that.

[MikeBuzzsaw]

whats the spraypaint color and what brand? how u do it? me going to try it.

[iLuminatae]

a) The paint is called Krylon Fusion - its made to paint over plastic.
b) Open cd tray and remove the cover. Depending on brand mine came off by pulling outward and upward - BE CAREFULL
c) Remove the plastic led light cover so u dont paint over it.
d) Remove the plastic front panel around the outside of cd rom
e) make sure to hold the spray can at least 10 inches away from the plastic pieces u want painted and do light applications. I did three coats

I might have to do another coat of blue on the tray covers because you can still see the printing underneath if you look close enough

[OS-Wiz]

Good job! :) Oh, nice fan controller, :D

[iLuminatae]

Yes nice controller :D Official member of your club now :D

[doctor15]

wow...

That is awesome how the cd tray cover match the lights on your nexus. It makes me want to cancel my order for black drives and get white ones that I can paint blue. Anyone know if you can paint over black drive?

[iLuminatae]

yes u should be able to paint over the black tray covers. The blue is a close match to the LED but they only had two shades of blue to choose from so I chose the darker blue.

[AGERSTONE]

Wow, that is pretty god damn good! Well Done! :eek: :eek:

thanks to this thread i'm letting my cd-rom drive faceplate dry at this moment haha its gunna be black

[|_053|2]

[Big_Mac]

(when you eject the drive, is the tray blue or white?)

[|_053|2]

cd drive open (http://stovicek.20megsfree.com/images/DSC00333.JPG)

[iLuminatae]

looks good, I left mine white inside cause i didnt want to risk screwing up my cd player by painting the inside. Not sure if things would slide properly after. It would be interesting to try it tho :)

[TAZTG]

Great Job. I see you left the Logo's, you can barley make out the Sony & ASUS. Looks cool with the Blue in the black.

[pwain]

GLad other people are doing this, I did mine last year, cheap and efective mod :cool:

[Trunks]

I'm in love with that Nexus fan controller...nice paint job dude looks really nice

[Terry]

If it weren't for the cave-in the ASUS has, I'd mix them up.

Ever thinking of paining something recognizable over them?

[iLuminatae]

I am planning on given them another coat of blue so it will cover it up completely, as for mixing them up, the top one is my cd writer and the bottom one is my dvd player. Dunno how I could mix them up?
