PC painting

[Pcinacan]

I am going to do a black out themed paint on my pc. I have the black plasti-dip but i would like some vid or advice showing/telling me how to do the best job. I now that Linus did a vid on mother boards.

I will be painting my ram, motherboard, and maybe the 212 evo.

Linus painted his parts on the ground, but with spray paint this can kick up dust which will stick to the paint.  Better to hang the parts from a string to avoid this issue.

For plasti-dip if you are spraying the motherboard and 212Evo I wouldn't spray the motherboard slots like linus did especially with plasti-dip it will just gum up and make a big mess. For the Evo 212 as long as you spray the top plate it shouldn't cause any problem just mask off the fins.

 

As for spraying plasti-dip you have a few finishes from a sandpaper or flocked finish to an orange peel type finish. Plasti-dip is very particular with spray distance and speed, more so than spray paint, if it's not always constant you will get a flocked or sandpaper type finish out of it.

Please don't dip any of those parts in a bucket of paint it just won't work period, it might work with small parts or surfaces but not recommended.

Dip painting, somewhat with a latex plaint for a wood part it gives really thick finishes but that coats the entire part, but he's only paint the motherboard, cooler, RAM and parts of his case.

 

Plasti-dip I've used with some trial and error first time around but it ended up to work well.

you can just dip the part you want to paint.

It's not an efficient or good way of painting especially computer components which require masking and non-submersion however. It can be done on small parts but it would be much better to spray paint it will give a much higher quality finish.

any over spray can be cut lightly along the line of your choice then slowly peeled back to give you a clean edge
