About a year ago I had an Idea for an Orange and Black Build. I started thinking about different shades of Orange, what parts to have color and what would remain black.
I had an old Antec DF-85 that was Empty and collecting dust, and so it began. I few ideas and many hours later "Electric Orange" was Born.
Lets start at the Beginning. There is Definitely some potential here with this case. At this stage I really don't know how much yet. :unsure:
I don't do Sketch work or Create Renders for Mods. Everything with this Project is off the Hip and very spontaneous..
Windows Paint is about as High tech as it gets for me.
Well, That looks good, lets rip it apart..
Now that its in Pieces, I needed a Color. Searches for Electric Orange Paint really didn't lead to the right shade for me. So, I decided on a shade of Orange called Omaha.
This Shot of a 69 Mopar in Omaha Orange Inspired me.
A Quick trip to my friends at Napa and Presto.. Omaha Custom Mixed to Aerosol..
So I Started spraying panels and fans and You name it. But in the End, I just wasn't happy with the Final Product. Lots of Orange Peel.. :blink:
There has to Be a Better Way to paint this.. At this point in the Project is it too late to start over? Nope.
Quick Trip to the Acid Tanks at my Powdercoater and Wah-La.. All Better.. Oh,, Why not Build a Paint Booth in my Basement and get a Full Blown HVLP set up and teach myself how to paint Professionally while I'm at it..
So I Did.
Now that I set myself up with Pro Hardware. Lets Paint. :lol:
Much Smoother and controlled Surface Now. Rattle cans are a thing of the Past for me.
Here is an Example of the Surface top Coat I can Produce now with my HVLP Gun. Color is "Burma Black Pearl" and "Omaha Orange" Front Panel Shot here.
Enough about the Painting.. Lets talk some Hardware.

Still running Electrical, but have wrapped up the PSU for the most part.
Working on an Idea for a cover for that top area to conceal the backside of top panel. Forgive some of my Wrinkle Backdrop shots,
Still working on my photo Studio :blush:
The showcase of the extremely cheesy TV spot featured on the last WAN show sparked my interest, so here is a much older tv spot from them featuring non other than Logan himself.
