How did you paint the grid on the outside yellow? Just normal spray paint? I want to paint mine too  

[Trik'Stari]

Nice lookin build. I painted the mesh on mine neon orange, turned out flaxy and uneven for some reason, used plenty of paint, painted slowly with multiple coats, any suggestions?

I used this spray paint 

[Trik'Stari]

@Urbz7870 Weird, I used the exact same paint, but UV orange instead of yellow. Hrmmmm.

 

Will have to rethink some things. Awesome looking build though, I wish more Nvidia cards would do LED stuff on the side, cuz I love the way it looks. Are all Avexir ram sticks the same color LED's? can they change color?

When you spray painted it do you go back and forth or did just spray it all over the place? Also what type of spray paint did you use?

Hmmmmm did you let it dry when you applied the first coat? The Avexir ram comes in different color but it is a bit price depending on the speed of the ram.

I sprayed in slow broad sweeping strokes, let it dry for about 20 minutes for the first coat, and just sort of kept building up. I think I might try and just strip it, take it to my dads work and Ecoat it

Just kidding. Very nice looking build!

Nice work. Yellow/orange-themed builds have always been pretty rare.

Do you shake it b4 you spray it? 

[Trik'Stari]

Do you shake it b4 you spray it? 

Yes, but I did neglect to degrease the mesh before I painted. (I know better....just lazy)

 

Edit: I shook that can like it was Rhianna.....too soon?

you don't need two crossfire bridges, and nice build.

ROFLMFAO! TBH i just straight up sprayed mine no sanding or anything. I also had 2 boxes to spray the mesh in, I sprayed like 6inches away from the mesh with the mesh at a angle inside the box.

Yea i kno it was feeling lonely so i added the other bridge i had laying around.
