GTX 780 Paint job (red themed)

[wertui80]

Ok soo... my build is red and my gtx 780 silver, so I just painted it. I think it turned out quite well, what do you guys think?

How does it look with the green LED?

[Excon]

Paint is pretty dark and cans aren't the best method put pretty cool none the less.

[Tmh85]

looks good

[nsyedhasan]

[wertui80]

Good.

Don't like the shade. A brighter color would suite but I respect the fact you CHANGED the stock cooler! Never saw anyone change it...

[AlwaysFSX]

Dislike the color but it looks like an even coating at least Pretty cool

As long as you know what you're doing you can get excellent results with a can. The reason why most of the results you see using cans are terrible is because cans are easily accessible and people don't know how to use them.

I think it's just the camera that makes it look like a darker shade of red.

I have a super old phone, the color is in fact a LOT more vivid and bright then in the image.

Our suspicions are correct.

I am planning on doing the same thing with my Titans but Purple Chrome

I commend you on your efforts. It does look very cool. Im just not a fan on the red you picked... Red is my favourite colour so I dislike seeing all the yuck variations of the specific shade I prefer. But otherwise good job.

Id like to see someone do a more intricate design on a card now. I am also saddened by the fact that no one will be able to see this, Graphics cards really should be the other way round so you can see the shrouds.

[TicTac]

You Should have used a better paint but nice shot anyways

[atrash]

If you put the spray paint can in hot/warm water (not boiling water) for a few minutes, you can actually get a better, finer control and more consistent spray for your graphics card. I knew this from watching Bill Owen's video though I forgot which video it was. But that red paint still looks good nonetheless. I wished it was it a bit shinier. Maybe paint a contrast colour for the GTX 780 and nvidia logo?

[Crazyroccobuilds]

That looks cool! But how did you paint the fan rim? 

[George8D]

great mod Idea! like seriously awesome.. I am definitely considering this for when I get my 780

[EpicGeekonFire]

Ehh the red is too dark for my liking. Maybe white would look cooler. Good job though.
