Any good sites for case painting?

[fitzhue]

Hey everyone, I think I will be painting my case pretty soon. I was wondering if anyone knows of any sites that have a good guide on it. If it has a guide on how to paint the face plates of the cdrom, floppy, that would be great too. Thanks a lot

I'm going to be painting my system "semi-flat black" this weekend & think I've found a good way to paint all the face plates.

I'm going to trace the outline of each face plate on to card board box paper.
then cut out a slot for each face plate. Then insert each face plate into each hole & paint the whole thing.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Dude, I painted my case & all my drive face plates today in about 30 min. & it looks great!
I'll email you a few pics of the system so you can judge for yourself.

Here's what I did...
after removing all drives from the system I noticed that the dvd & cd-r drives have a removable face plate on the tray itself. So that means I didn't have to use the card board box cutouts. Just paint the face plates & tray face plates.

(Be very careful when removing the face plates because drive trays are not very sturdy.)

Here's a list of all the drives I painted:

IDE 100 zip
1.44 floppy
HP 8100 CD-wr
Hitachi DVD

If I didn't know I painted it, I'd honestly think everything was made that way.
It looks stock.

"Satin Black" is the color

Looks very sweet, especially the trays
