Thanks i was worried that it would look $h1t but the end result is good + i can remove it at any time

they have many colors and the Finnish is similar to rubber

Here are all the aerosol colours

there are some places in GP that sell them off the shelf (mostly car paint shops)

i know that builders warehouse stock them nationwide

i also have a bud in Limpopo that sells them and he does cars boats bikes etc

Thanx will give it a look.
 
@mike, amazing paint job!

Do you know if the paint is keyboard friendly?
The paint on the "W" and "S" keys (MS X6) are coming off and would like to repaint it. :p

it should be since its technically rubber/plastic mix. i have seen some over clockers put it on motherboards so i say yes and its removable so if you don't like you can peel it off
 
@ Mike_Litoris_za
Awesome looking rig

Mind if we hijack this thread and let everyone post there rigs here?

I think we might see some more epic systems like yours in here and i for one like seeing
How much effort other guys put into their gaming rigs

then i have a few questions about the plasti dip

1. where can i buy it
2. do they come in different colors
3. how do you apply it?

That is a very nice colour scheme that you got there :)

I have blue ram, blue psu and a white 7970... My case can light up a massive room with eerie blue lighting :D
Does not help to have it in your room because the light may keep you awake
