lassebauer Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hey guys, working on my second Hackintosh project, and just finished the paintjob and visual side of it. Not sure what to call it: I was inspired by sci-fi movies (Aliens (1986) in particular as the attentive reader might notice). Perhaps simply "BauerCorp Mod" or similar. Anywho, this is the build so far: (Software setup still remains) • Primary use: Creative work, video editing • Corsair C70 case • Inno3D iChill GTX 1080 TI • ASUS Maximus X Hero 370 (Wi-fi, Bluetooth) • i7 8700K • 32 GB HyperX RAM • Samsung 500GB 850 EVO M.2 SSD • (7 SSD drives total > Will be transferred from current machine when everything else is ready. Same with lighting.) • PSU: Corsair RM750X • CPU fan: Noctua NH-D15 Let me know what you think, and if you´re interested I´ll post more about the build/painting process itself. Thanks :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mnpctech.com Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Love the paint finish, I'd love to try this myself and credit you. Can you please share the process in creating the grey base color finish? *Brand and paint color you used for the grey / blue base color? *Process for applying paint base color? My guess is that you used brush for the base color coat. I am aware of how you created the silver exposed metal scuffs and scratches btw, if you do another Corsair C70 build, here is custom window without the fan holes, https://mnpctech.com/mnpctech-clear-case-pc-panels/corsair-c70-window-replacement-clear-fan-holes-120mm/corsair-c70-custom-window.html Edited July 1, 2019 by Mnpctech.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lassebauer Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hey, sure. It´s very simple: I used spray paint from Edding. Edding Permanent Spray 5200. You can use other brands, I just like the fact that these are matte/semi-matte. They are quite pricey, tho. Grey color is Antracite (I believe) and then I used yellow for bits and bobs. I didn´t prime the case at all; I just washed it and made sure there was no grease on it. Then simply paint, apply scratches with steel brush or whateven gives the effect you´re after. The paint sticks pretty well to the case, and since the case is stationary, and you´re going for a weathered look, there´s really no need to prime. No need to credit me :) Just glad I could be of inspiration. And FWIW the case still looks the same 2 years later, so it worked out fine. Happy painting!
