Paint PSU cables

[ImFromSweden1]

Hello.

 

I've got a Corsair RM modular power supply with boring black cables.

I was thinking about painting the cables green, but keeping the connectors black.

 

What spray can should I use?

Is Plastidip a good spray for that purpose?

Should I cover up the connectors with some normal tape, or is there a special tape for that purpose?

spraying cables is almost never a good idea.

if you do it, use plastidip.

Spend a bit more for custom sleeved extensions.

i dont think paint would mix well with cables because paint doesnt like to flex

take it easy i can see your location is sweden see this https://www.komplett.se/corsair-professional-sleeved-cable-green/777833 yes it is more expensive but if you use spray paint or plastidip it will proberly not turn out well

Just don't it will flake everywhere and make a big mess, it's better to do sleeving, Icemodz does custom sleeving for specific PSU's

Use vinyl dye. Don't listen to what the others said, it will turn out just fine (remember to dye the cables white before you dye them green though).

Okay, I just realised how hard it would be to spray all the individually sleeved cables without getting spots where there is no paint.

Also, you are going to degrade the wiring by coating it...all spray type paints have horrible solvents in it that will eat through the wire jackets. I would certainly never do that.

I would recommend against it, I have seen many people try it and it never turns out good.

I would recommend getting a set of extensions instead - www.modbunker.com sells them in any color combo you would like - we have a grand reopening this month with a huge sale under our new name MAINFrame Customs!
