Idea for changing case colour

[Gnomo]

Hey

I have an idea and that is once again something strange.
I have a black phanteks enthoo luxe here and I want to know if you know a good way to get the whole inside white and the outside stays black. A white case is also not what I am looking for because I want the outside all black and the inside all white. If you have any good idea, I will gladly take it but this would be the first idea of the case that I am thinking of in my head.

 

Normal paint? Any heat resistant paint needed? What kind of preparation I need before coloring it and how good will white work on black?
Thanks for helping a beginner in casemods.

For the best results you will need to take apart the case for painting the interior sections like the motherboard tray, and it will not require any special paint as it doesn't get anywhere near hot enough to cause a problem. Some of the best stuff out there is usually automotive stuff where they have more vibrant colors and options. For prep and such I have a guide here on General Painting that will go over all of that:

Thanks, that looks really nice. One question because I just saw it in the guide. Could I also simply just vinyl wrap my pc inside?
But I will look into the complete guide, this seems pretty much to be what I am looking for to do my dream pc.
When I have an idea of how it works and what needs to be done I can either find a place where I can do it or someone who does it for some money (e.g. vinyl shop)

It's possible but may be quite complex due to the interior corners and such as it needs to be cut oversized then trimmed exactly to size after installation.

For the best result I would say disassembly and painting the interior panels would be the best look.

Plasti dip might be a good choice.

i would also go with spray paint, i almost did the inside of mine white but decided it would clash, vinyl wrap sounds like a bitch and a half to say the least, if youre not set on doing it yourself, powder-coat may be a good option

What kind of shop does powder-coat jobs? Automotive?

lol honestly i dont know, auto shops are probably not likely, a web search brings up 4 powder coaters in Austria, looks like theres one right off the B1 in Puhret, called "dr. tech powder" but im an american giving an Austrian directions to a place in Austria so who knows how well that will work out .. also a business directory should have better info than i can give you

Thanks. I will look into it but i got told it is possible to replace most parts with parts of a white enthoo case. At the moment looking into that
