Hello to all.. 
I would like to Share with you, My "Electric Orange" Project I Started over a Year ago and currently still working on.
How it Started. I had an Antec Df-85 Collecting Dust. I kept Bumping into the Dam thing, so One day I got an Idea for Something Orange and Black. So i ripped into this case and Started off with a New Project.
Here is the First day last year in October. Dismantling The Antec.
Now that i have this thing Broke Down, I need a Color for it. The Search began.
I was inspired by a 69 Mopar in Omaha Orange.
A Quick trip down to the Auto Parts SHop and Presto.. Custom Mixed Cans of that Exact Color..
A started spraying Everything and Not being the Best at Using Rattle Cans I quickly Became Familiar with the Term "Orange Peel"..Sigh..
I had to think about how to Fix that Finish, In the Mean Time started Cutting up the roof and Side Panel. I Don't do Sketch work or Render any Designs.
About the Best i do is MS Paint. Forgive me.
I got an Idea now how to Really make the Paint Perfect. I will teach myself How to Use HVLP Spray Guns and fix the mess from these Rattle Cans. Bought a Compressor and Guns and Just about everything that goes along with HVLP. And why not build a Spray Booth in my Basement too. :huh:
A trip to my Local Powder Coat Acid Tanks should speed things along with the paint removal.
Here shows the panels down to Bare Metal and My Painting Setup.
I started painting and painting and Painting some more. Got it down and Produced some Really Nice Finish with these Guns. You will Start to see an improvement in my Photo Skills Soon as i Learn that Art along with Everything else.. :lol:
Custom Designed Front Panel Took Shape and Finished it With Omaha Orange and Burma Black Pearl. Notice the Lack of Orange Peel here now. Thank God.

Still have a couple small Parts being Machined for it. I'm still modding a few things like the Main Board and PSU paint which i dont like now. Little things but still take time. More Electrical and Sleeving. Still Building and adding to my photo studio as well. Hope you enjoy and maybe stick around for more to come.
