Hello everyone! I have decided to paint (PlastiDip) my graphics card the Galaxy GTS 450, for those who don't know, it's one step above the Titan Z... not really... it's quite the old graphics card, but it surprisingly works well!

 

Anyways, i'm painting the shroud white to match my case (NZXT Phantom 530 White)

If you ever decide you don't like the plasti dip, or just want to remove it you can pick at a corner till it starts coming back, and if you've done enough coats it should peel off in one clean sheet
