awesome build you have some skills , keep up the good work

Another amazing feat of paintwork.
 
My Ford Taurus was painted that colour. HOK raspberry pearls
 
Always looked kinda aubergine in the evenings (aubergine = egg plant) but man, when those rays hit her she looked truly beautiful.

Hello to the Build Logs,
 
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.

Many of you may have believed me to be gone....Well I'm back and putting some more work into the Green Machine..
 
My Latest Sponsor to The Green Manalishi Project has sent over some Beautiful Cables..
 

 
 
 
  Joey at Ensourced does Top Shelf work here
with Urban Camo.. Many thanks to a quality guy.  I feel its important to support others in this community who have gone to great lengths
to make a quality product. His dedication really shows.. These are flawless and much better than anything I could ever do.  Enjoy a few photos.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have awakened.... Loop is complete.  Now have some samples from Joey at Ensourced to look through..
 
Next to paint.. The EVO drive.  Test Driving a new Lens with these Shots.. Canon 17-40mm L.  Seems to get super sharp at f5.6 and Amazing at f8.
 
 

 

 

 
 
I really like this One

Time for a change is all...

No! Not at all! 
 
I meant to say that I hadn't heard one of the videos having this kind of music instead of rock/metal. 

Using that music because you like it? or because you're trying to draw the attention of people of my age group?
