You should get a black sharpie and fill in the GTX 980 logo back to black.

Dude... Nice. I usually not a big fan of small form factor but that looks great. Hard to find really clean, small builds that don't use watercooling. Way to be original! Love me some air

Would it be easy to do for a begginer?

Also do I get a second chance if I fuck up? Lol

Plasti-dip yes since it's a rubber coating you can peel it right off if you mess up or it doesn't turn out the way you want it.

 

Checkout the painting section of the guide it covers Plasti-dip:

I really dig it. And that's coming from someone that really doesn't like white parts.

What type of tape did you use? Everything I use plastidip the paint peals when I remove the tape. I've been using 233+ green tape that Bill Owen recommends.

For plasti-dip you must make cut lines with a razer or exacto knife before removing tape or masking or it will pull up the surrounding plasti-dip.

 

Here's a guide under the painting section:

Thanks. I tried it with the keyboard and the exact knife still pulled a little but it was much better. Maybe the blade was too dull.

If you bought your 980 new recently I'd be careful about that: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/2zufxd/reference_gtx_980_owners_do_not_attempt_the_led/

So this is not true. When I read this, it scared me at first because I wanted to build a white/black build and I got a new rubberized green LED that I thought I wouldn't be able to mod. The guy in that reddit post just didn't sand enough. You've gotta sand extra hard, but you can eventually get past the rubber and it looks amazing. Check out my pictures here.

You should make the GeForce logo white as well!
