Corsair psu mod

[KrasussDB]

Hello, i have Corsair GS700 in my red themed build and as you might guess i hate the blue color of the rim(the plastic exchangable piece), the problem is that its impossible to get the Corsair Trim set in Europe(atleast i havent found it anywhere else then Corsair store which is not shiping in Czech and tbh i aint paing 70bucks for shiping 10dollar part anyways )

 

So to my question, i want to spray paint the thing, but iam wondering which red color (RAL3000,RAL3028 etc) will be the closest to match the red rings on SP120 fans ?

 

I have the feeling that with the lighning i have(red leds)i can use almost any red color and be done cause the LEDs kinda change the colors anyway, but iam considering using white leds which might be a problem if i pick the wrong red.

 

anyways thanks for the help, i might post some pics in the build log forum when iam done if you are interested, still need to fix few things to be done with it for some time

I think RAL3000 should be fine.

Because your painting plastic I'd recommend using vinyl dye, tek syndicate did I video on it and it works better on plastic and actually soaks into the material so it won't affect how it fits into the psu.

One of the best ways to match paint I still find is to just bring the part with you into the paint store and go through color swatches or for them to color match it for you but I prefer the latter since it's the machine isn't always perfect.

 

Just a side note be make sure to give the part a light sanding and a coat of primer before painting to ensure good adhesion.
