Cool thanks guys. What is PlastiDip?

 

If I get this done over the weekend I will post pics.

 

It is like spray paint. You can usually get them at auto repair stores or Wal-mart (something similar). Here's a google search for it, but if you want to test it out, I suggest getting some throw-away plastic you have lying around and go to an auto repair store/store and get some to practice with. You can also see if you like the end result before actually plasti-dipping your GPU shroud-thingy.

Hello folks.

 

Weird question! I own two Palit jetstream gtx 980 (pic below).

 

As you can see it is red. Unfortunately my build is a black & white theme. I know I can remove the top plate and paint it white. The question is... do I need to get rid of the red first? If so how? Do I need a base coat of some sort before applying the white?

 

Assistance is appreciated.

No base needed because it would be white anyway, but you would need about 3 coats to cover it up. Don't forget to make some pictures

If its a glossy red finish I would sand it to make the paint stick better, but with spray paint you'll need about 2-3 even coats to make a nice finish.

It is something like liquid rubber, It will not damage the PCB, just don't get it into any contacts.
