Thinking about modding my Corsair Air 540

Hey guys,So i've been thinking about this for a while now,My PC theme is Red and black on the inside.

Kinda like RoG series,(Original right

)

Anyway i've been thinking about starting to do stuff to the outside of the case.

I can detach the top when you put your rad etc and the front where the corsair logo's are.

Now the panels in-between the meshing i'm thinking about getting some Plastidip and spraying them Red.

Or do you think i should Plastidip the entire case?

Also any tips on modding the window of the case.

All feedback is very appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I have plasticote'd my mesh's white on my 540, 2 build up coats and a 3rd to level off.
looks a peach.

plasticote is extremely forgiving, and is perfect for "Ive not really painted things before".

and yes my 540 lives on top of the box it came in

That looks very nice as well. Maybe spray the box white so it blends in ?

Good work! Looks very good on these cases due to the striping, IMO
