Why doesn't Bitfenix have their soft touch treatment on the side panels like the Shinobi?

I thought they powder coated it? Many case modding websites do the side panel and I believe Linus' side panel is coated 

When I mean painted I mean powder coated sorry.

You still can't put a plastic finish onto metal.

Because they have different opinions.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

I have a Shinobi, and it's powdercoated. Still, that finish is nice.

if you like this finish so much, get some plastidip and coat it yourself.

i have a shinobi and the first thing that got scratched is the window.

then it was that rubbery finish. it doesn t look all that great now...

the powder coat never scratched.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.

The soft touch is nothing like plasticdip from a side by side comparison. My brothers Prodigy has the same finish and no scratched.
