Thoughts on Spraying a Fractal Define R3

Kurgen · 11 Dec 2021 at 16:06

I have an old Fractal Case. The mechanic i use also does resprays and has plenty of spare paint. I was thinking of getting this sprayed in either beige or grey to make it look a bit retro. Then i thought about getting something different like a gloss dark blue or red, with a gloss black front Panel?

I would leave the main IO and front Panel black

Any thoughts from the Retro Nerds?

I think i will have more luck with grey as thats a standard car colour. Plus the black plastic trim will still match.

Case stripped bare now, and off for respray next week... I think its going to be some kind of Blue... just the out panels though, the top and 2 sides.

Is this the right shade of blue?
