Hi guys.

I am planning a refresh of my PC. You may remember my last build, Project Abino.

Well this time I'm going for something a little more unique :)

I have the following items sat on my desk.



This is to paint my radiator frames etc.

The case I'm getting is very special, and I am planning to get it powder coated in orange also. The case I have ordered is full aluminium, which is already powder coated in black, but I'm having it stripped and done in orange powder coat.

Mick from Mayhems has kindly provided me 2 large bottles of Orange fluid for the w/c.
This build will be a slow and steady process, the case will take around 4-6 weeks to arrive I think.

Thanks to Bitfenix for the LED strips and orange coloured cables

A big thank you goes to Pascal at Aquatuning for sorting me out a great deal on the case. Well happy with it now :)
Thanks to Noise blocker for the support in the way of 20 x fans for my build

As in me? I dont work for OcUK anymore lol.

The problem is there are so many options and selections from MM that people want their own choice over pre-selected options from a EU/UK reseller.

My forum title says Antec rep and my profile avatar says vendor rep?

What more do you need from me?

I used to work for OcUK, until May.

I'm just about to spray my 360 rad frame white for my new NXZT 810. Can you suggest any form on finishing?

I haven't decided how to finish my rad frames yet. I will decide once I have primered and sparyed it orange. But currently I think I will get a lacheur spray (spelling lol)

I failed at trying spell that too Ace.. I've placed some card over the fins, lightly rubbed down with wet'n'dry and spaying in layers to get an even cover.

How about some orange connectors? I was thinking of fixing white bitspower connectors but the are a bit pricey so was thinking of spaying some bog standard ones. As long as i avoid the thread, it shouldn't be a problem.

i'm doing that with wet and dry, taking the top layer off so the primer takes better. I'm getting Monsoon orange fittings too.
 
I'm testing the paint job on a spare radiator I have :)

First two layers of primer applied after a 15mins rub down!!!!!! OH erm mrs!











 
My job this evening is to strip the PSU casing I have and prep that for orange painting too. I will update later.
 
So I got this unit





And took the bugger apart, it wasnt easy to get into the unit, I needed pliers as some of the screws were buggers! Mind you, your not meant to take them apart.





I removed the Antec logo plate from the PSU, I intend to glue this back on once finished.



Next job was to primer the PSU frame... but first I celotaped the rear part of the PSU frame as that has the connection info printed on it, I wanted to keep that info.



Finally primer time









Finally while I was setup I decided to put on two layers of orange paint to the rad as the primer was dry now. I have done the top side, once dry I will flip it and spray the other side twice too...


The orange is looking good at the moment. Happy with it.

In hind sight I could have sparayed it without taking it apart, but I enjoyed doing this last night and tbh its ensured its done better now.
 
Just checked my rad and I'm not happy with the orange, it needs another 1 or 2 coats, so I've just sprayed on a third coat, lets see if it needs a 4th once dry.
