new sumer project

well summer is around the corner so I am starting to get ready for my next project. I am going to be sanding down the big yellow and black lian-li and starting over (wasnt very origional and didnt think it was worth finishing). I now have aquired an airbrush (rattling cans gets old) and several other items. I am thinking about fading orange yellow and red to make the pc look the color of a flame. I also have aquired a adhesive that looks like carbon fiber :D . This will be used a little around the window, on the top, and the front panel to give it a interesting look. I have discovered a shop near by that can lazer cut something for me, so I will probablly have a simple flame on the side panel and a sheet of red plexiglass behind it. I also plan to paint all of my fans to color cordniate, the inside of the pc, basically all of it. Anyone with any ideas or sugestions feel free to post them. :)

:eek: Wow, that sounds like thats going to be really cool when its done.. there are so many advantages to airbrushing :) Where did you get the carbon fiber sheets at? One of the things that i want to do this summer to my computer is stealth all of my drives, and make a stealth baybus and some little LED mods :)

keep us updated!

Well I went to pick my truck up out of the auto body shop today and started asking about the paint guns and paint they use. He pointed me in the right direction on both, so now I am thinking about using automotive paint. I think it will look 20 times better. I think Falcon (name?) uses auto paint on their cases. The carbon fiber I found is made by Parma industries, It is sort of a sticker, but I have used it on a few RC car bodies and it turned out good. :)

:eek: Do you have the air compressor to support auto painting tools? those can be pretty heavy duty... i just have a little electric one with a little hose.. but it always does the job :D

The one he uses for his hobby (restoring coke machines) is a little bit of a smaller paint gun than the ones they uses on car bodies (smaller spay area and gravity feed cup). It doesnt require much more of a compressor than one you can get at wal-mart. If anyones else has any questions or coments feel free to post them, I am getting excited about it.
