try a kawasaki green thing...........

or cooler yet.....black/white camo.

hmmm...maybe..just alot of masking work to be done if i do that but would look good i must say. plus im not really doing anything for the next 3 days so masking would take up my spare time. would be fun

A think a bright yellow would be wicked.

ok...when enough thoughts get chucked down..what do you suggest for a type of paint to use??? clear coats, primers etc.....?

oh and also,what could i add to my coolant to make it another colour? might sound thick but would food colouring be ok, or something like a fabric dye??

neon/shocking pink!

 

[ionicle]

ultra violet reactive, glow in the dark, neon green would look good ....

ha ha ha. nice idea guys. my old case was UV green and DAMN it glowed like a

with the UV in it. Looked good though...keep the ideas coming...patterns will do too.....or i could try some effect if you guys can tell me how. :worship:

Blue and purple tie-dye effect?

Might look kinda cool.

Damn hippies.

I like the camo idea. Would look well swish.

Or some sort of iridescent oil spill/beetle effect (actually a beetle case might be a good mod, my tutor would <3 it (she's an entomologist).

I'd say go with good quality paint for a good quality finish. Sand and wipe clean -> Prime -> sand and wipe-> prime -> sand and wipe-> colour -> sand -> colour -> etc Dunno if you'd need a clear coat. Only really use it for high traffic areas to slow down abrasion. It can give a nice sheen though.

with the camo you'd need to leave time for the paint to really dry before masking the new layers. nothing worse than taking it back to primer in one fell peel.

good luck with whatever you go for.

temp changing paint??/ iv never heard of that one...

I was thinking of completely changing my theme.

Going for something completely new. might be selling a monitor to fund this too...dont quite know yet...

I've always wanted to see a black and white theme, Black PCB, white interior and coolant, black case. I'll do it someday, when I get the time.

Some nice ideas . I was thinking along the lines of a radiation theme. Gods knows what colours though....

When it comes to radiation, green is always fun.
