Case Painting, where do you guys go?

Jay85 · 23 Jun 2012 at 22:47

I love my case to bits and right now i fancy a change of colour instead of this boring gun metal and plastic look. I know they do my case in white however the internals are silver

so no point in getting a new case if it's just going to be silver on the inside.

I figured i would paint my case but i have no idea where to look. Does anyone know of any specialist companies that do PC case painting and modding? I also wish to mod my case and remove certain areas to fit bigger and better hardware. Would also like to fit 1 x 120mm radiator externally but i need to drill 2 large holes to put in bulkhead fittings to fit my rad tubing through back into the case.

So any ideas on companies and names etc, please post in here. I'm sure this won't go again ocuk rules as ocuk don't do case painting?

Thanks!

Sent you a trust message. The main supplier of this service is an OcUK competitor unfortunately. Some people manage to find local powder coaters to do it. Some garages have the facility for example.

Also, external rads suck. Sorry.

I don't trust myself! The last thing i painted flaked like hell and that was with a primer, sanded, painted and clear coat

No tippexing! We don't do cheap tacky mods here lol.

You're right but for now i wouldn't mind trying it at least. Would also consider a slim 120 rad but funds are tight as of now.

It would be easier to vinyl wrap it? Can get allsorts of designs,flames,skulls,carbon fibre effect ect

Jay85 · 23 Jun 2012 at 23:31

I have a quote waiting for that, i know a guy who does wrapping and he normally does it cheap in any effect. I just thought for a case though that paint would have a better finish and more resistant to scratching.

White Carbon Fibre case??

Yes paint it by all means,wrapping is just another option,plus its easier to do yourself

May give it a shot if it's too expensive to get it done properly. If its over £100 i might aswel get myself a new case lol

DIY, just do a little bit of research before you do. Any monkey can do it when following a guide

I would say best bet is to ask at a car body repair shop. Our local one we have used a number of times is great, dead cheap, really skilled and does any colour you want. Solid colour, matt, shiny, sparkly anything! I would say many are similar to this too?
