First Time Painting A PC Case Did i do alright?

PricelessNight

So i been wanting to paint some of my case and i finally got around to doing it. This was my first time doing anything with spraypaint type materials but i gave it my best shot. I saw that linus used plasti dip in his pc painting video and i looked it up and it would work for me plus it is removable  especially for my first time. But Enough Rambling here is what i got! Oh Btw i painted a Zalman Z9 Case i got a year ago.

Poor image quality, but it looks good based on the image.

Nice m8

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

not my favourite color scheme, but it's a great beginner's case mod!

I like it. Not what I would have done personally, but I definitely promote deviating from what you get stock :)

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

Glad you like it blue if my favorite color so i wanted to see how it would look and the best part about using plasti dip is i can always change the design later :)

The image is too low quality to judge whether it's been painted properly, but on a basic level it looks good, better than stock.

Decent! Good to see people being individual in style. Can't really tell how good the paint job is without closer inspection, but it seems to be a good job for a first try.

Looks nice. You should practice plasti dipping more things and try to get less texture and get a smooth finish because it looks a bit textured on your picture. Consider how far away you are spraying from and putting on the right thickness per coat. Also it helps a lot to put the cans in hot water, as they get warmer, they spray better and more evenly. Keep plasti dipping!
