    Thought I would better ask here before I do anything;)
    Guys, do you think it should be ok to paint res holders?
    I have those black EK 60mm reservoir holders and want to paint it white.
    Or maybe is there other way to make them white? Is there some flexible paint that won't crack when I push res through those holders and expand them a bit?

    That's a tricky one. Aren't they acetal/delrin? It's almost like trying to get paint to stick to HDPE.

    Yeah, will be hard to do it...
    I guess the only way would be keep them black, but that would look weird in all white internals or fabricate white holders from acrylic...

    I just looked all the places we get clips for work and cant find anything in white above 22mm that you would trust to hold a res up looks like a fabrication job

    how about something like this

    That looks cool, but I would need all in white, so fabrication is the only way I guess.
