Doing a gramps

Post by Doombrain »

I want to spray my PC tower colour to silver. What's the best primer and paint to use? I'm worried standard car spray will damage the plastic.

Why is your case plastic, btw? Is it strange that mine is metal?

Use enamal paint. That shouldn't affect plastic. Just the Plasticote stuff from Wilkos should do.

Mint, cheers. Now I have this media centre, I don't want to have this bloody great big white tower in my front room. So I’m going to paint it silver and stick it behind the TV stand with an external DVD RW passed through under the TV so the only part on the PC I should see is one side.

Might still paint it yellow...

Any car primer

Sand it down, apply primer

Paint, sand, Paint, sand, paint

Use larger sized car paint (Touchup shit isnt to expensive), if you have to, use GOOD normal enamal.. but car paint works best..

Paint it like anything else.. light coats, yadda yadda..

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.
