    I've been off radar for a couple of years thanks to operations and illness type things but i've finally seen the back of that crap and today decided to Junk up an old Lian Li V1000. It looked a bit pretty allmost Mac G5 so i decided to spray it up in a Camo style i've done before to see what it looks like.
    Knowhere near finished yet but it looks kind of funky allready and i've got some more idea's for it including relicing it up before i transfer my i7 rig into it.

    Beauty of this style is i can cut and mod it as needed and touch it up and the wear and tear that happens should add to the effect.

    Thanks guys.
    I did another case a couple of years back using the same paint technique and there was more detail on the process here - http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=153767

    GhuilleAcoustic - i used basic car matt primer spray and i purposely did'nt prepare the surface as i want it to look a little rough around the edges and am thinking of ways to relic the paint as its a little too fresh looking at the moment. Reminds me of a Naval camoflage sort of effect so i may look for something along those lines.

    Today so far i've made a couple of panels to hide some wiring and ugly bits and sprayed them to match the design, i also took delivery of this lot :-

    I made a stencil and sprayed the side panel, i wanted it to blend in but i'm not sure i like it ? I'm going to spend this evening ageing the case and parts so it might settle down and not be so obvious.
