I want to buy a backplate for my gtx 980 and spray paint it, I have never sprayed for a mod before so I am unsure on what brand/type to use, I am looking for the colour red and make sure that it doesn't start peeling, cracking under the high temperature. Just looking for any tips on preperation thanks you

Welcome to the forum!

 

Plasti-dip is probably the most popular options since it's a removable rubber coating that is sustainable to 100C there's no need for primer or prep just a clean surface, for spray paint any spray paint will really do since it's not that hot, for paint however you will need to sand prime and paint it to ensure a good adhesion.

How much does this Plasti-dip cost to do?  Thing is though it doesn't sound like a very fun choice in terms of work put in and being a true modder so even if it was cheap I don't think I'd ever do it for one of my pcs.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

In Canada expensive, I bought two cans on a sale and it was $30 when in the US it's around $5-10 per can so yeahhhhhh....

Well if I had to quickly do a build for my daughter which I will do one day I think I will be sure to have someone go to Port Huron, MI and pick up the stuff there. Guaranteed she will want some strange colors for her pc.

Yeah that's a better way to go just don't be bringing back boxes of that stuff since customs may not let you bring large amounts of it in Canada since it's considered a hazardous material apparently, also the reason for the much higher cost in Canada.

Fast & Easy = Plastidip

Sexy = Airbrush 

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Thank you for your response, as long as it can withstand the temperatures it seems like the best option thank you :)

Going between canada and the US I never had them search a vehicle before though. we went over to canada to see the fireworks in detroit, because at the time the canadian side was much better. we had a van full of people and all they really asked for was our license plate number. we could of been carrying all the drugs in the world in the back. 

 

IE, I dont think they will give you trouble. Granted This is between detroit and canada, I dont know how other border crossings between the two are like
