Improving the 912 look?

ssddanbrown · 12 Feb 2011 at 21:07

Hi,
I have built my first pc with the HAF 912 case and I thought it looks a bit boring being matt black so after so inspiration from the awesome looking nvidia HAF-X cases I am planning to paint my case like these concept images I whipped up in paint:

Just wondering what people thought about this scheme as with the red fans I think it will improve the case's look .
Maybe needs something on the side or a window?
Also, does anyone have any tips on spraying the plastic at the front as I don't have a lot of experience in spraying.

You need to "KEY" the surface so the paint has something to stick too.

use a plastic primer first.

And then spray, for a smooth finish you need to then wet sand the paint to remove orange peel effect.

Plasti Kote Etch primer after giving the surface a decent sand with some very fine paper will give a good finish.
