NZXT Tempest WIth 360 rad/rivet guide/ paint

This is going to be my fiances build. She picked out the case. I just know how to do what she wants to do to it. She wants it black and green and a decpticon symbol on the case to. I will be using distilled water for coolant, V6 Stinger block for the cpu, mcp355 pump with top,1/2 barbs, 7/16 tubing and bitspower res

OMG what have I done


Now on to painting. What I did is that I sanded the original paint to bare metal. For the plastic part I use a scotch brite to rough off the plastic.
I used etching primer which in my opinion is the best you can get. Also use automotive paint such as Duplicolor for spray paint for example. I did 3-5 light coats of primer. I then painted the case Green/ black doing the same process do 3-6 light coats. Light coats are the key here. Then I used a clear coat 3-5 light coats.

here is a guide that will help you guys out

That's looking great so far! I hope the reserved means you have more pics for us.

Looks like a good start dude. Nothing like drilling out rivets. I had some fun with that when I painted the inside of my Haf.

Yes there will be more pics. But unfortunately I don't have a good camera. All I have is the Kodak Zi6 it takes great hd vids but not so great pics. I guess I will have to use this for now

Ya work with what you have.
