Can i paint the slightly ugly clear side panel on my 'Tec 900, its starting to get boring, and i wanted the 'clear' to be black, solid black, with the mesh showing and a black fan......stealth like.....

what paint would i need to do the side window?

i dont want a 300 panel, or plain panal, i want the black with the triangle mesh

I think you would have to roughen up the perspex for it to actually take the paint. Either that or how about just a bit of black card on the opposite side of the window? Temporary and should look ok with the window giving it a glossy finish.

And the 900 Right hand side plain panel actually fits on the other side. You can buy the replacements from Antec.

i still want the mesh and fan honlding though

Get a tin of plastic primer from halfords, lightly sand the perspex to allow the paint to adhere better. Then finish it off with a couple of coats of black spray paint.

and that sounds about right....but wasnt sure it would work....wih black would i need?

Would depend on wether you want a shiny gloss finish or if you prefer a duller matt, ideally id try to match it to the rest of the case.

thats what i want, rest of side panel
