    My Free case Mods

     
    I did these little mods, out of some acrylic paint and some foil tape. These are some Older early 90s cases. I really think I have put some character into them. The shine was done by Polyurethane. This was all stuff I had laying around the garage and basement....

    The Finish on the AMD one looks good... The red case does look a little.... blotchy.... Pretty good for the lack of materials used..

    Aaron. Had I known that the Poly was going to make it glow with the gloss like that, I would have waited to get some better paint. The cardinal Red I had was really old, and did not go on that well, I just may give it a sand down and redo it when I get back to the craft store. only a buck a bottle... The AMD one does look alot better. thanks... by the way, I did the speakers and KB in green as well, I will prolly add the pics to the album later on..

    The green & black AMD case looks cool. I like the "chrome" accents on it too. +10 for creative use of foil tape.

    One thing I've learned about paints is that old paint sucks, no matter how good it used to be.
