Small update 

Painting of the mesh sides

 

 

 

So  i wanted to paint the mesh strips in the sides but was unsure if i could even remove theese when i bought the case, to my surprise bitfenix made this as if they wanted you to paint them

inside the front and top panel are some small taps you can bend out and pull out the entire mesh strip, so this really made it easy (was afraid they were glued or sumthin.

 

First i removed the mesh around the sides and the bitfenix logo at the front

 

 

Made myself a sweet little paint booth out of quality materials :-)

 

 

First coat of primer paint.

 

 

 

After it sits for about 1 hour i gave it the first layer of RED and yes it is red but for some reason my phone show kinda ORANGE...

but its still a rather light red so i might go pick up some really dark red instead.

 

 

 

I let the parts sit overnight and just did a assembly of the front and top to see how it looked and im quite happy with this allthou i might get a deeper red at some point and give it a single coat of it.

Thats it for this update more comming soon still waiting for all my WC parts since EK had to backorder some off the stuff.

But next time ill work on raising the top of the case a bit to hide the fans better.
