Changing the MSI GTX 970's Logo Color

[CurlyCucumber]

Hey everyone!

 

I was planning on painting the shroud blue instead of red, and I thought hey, maybe I should change the logo from white to blue!

 

Since the logo is already white, should I just have to paint blue over it? Of course I'd have to get a clear(ish) blue paint.

 

What do you guys think?

Yeah, it'd have to be sort of clear.

Spray paint the red parts ;

If you try changing the led color , you will loose in brightness .

I was gonna try plastidip. And I know I'll lose brightness, I have the brightness turned down almost all the way anyways. If I turn it to max brightness It'll be fine.

 

Yeah, it'd have to be sort of clear.

That's what I thought, thank you!

Since it's clear a cheap quick way of changing the color is using a sharpie marker or using a transparent spray paint.

Do you think blue sharpie would work? I have that actually right on hand.

A sharpie will work no problem, if you don't like the effect or it isn't the correct color it can always be removed with isoproyl alcohol.

Awesome, thank you! I'll try that after my track meet tomorrow.

I didn't like the effect it made and removed it. Sorry. D;

Don't be sorry. Part of modding is making it your own, right?

Exactly! If I do end up finding a way, I'll definitely share it.

Hmm I assume it was a bit too light of a blue color. The only other way of really recoloring is dying or using a transparent spray paint like MetalCast:
