WTF????
That is the worest spray job i have ever seen.
I would be embaresed to say the least to even show that on the web let alone put my name on it.
If I dida spray job like that i would kill my self.
I mean ok it was dont out of a can but still it is fucked.
If you have any problems with my comments feel free to email me

How about a blotchy montior :blink: (my old one has pen marks all over it, really scratched up :angry: )
Aaron,
Given your (admitted) complete lack of knowlege about painting do you really think it's a good idea to learn on your PC?
The art and craft of a good paint job takes years to master and some fairly expensive equipment to boot.
OK results can be had using hardware store spray cans, but it is not easy.
Worse comes to worse, take it to Maaco or the like...they can do a lot better and faster job than you.
In a perfect world the ideal finish would be powdercoating.
Very tough and durable.
I work in a body shop at a big car dealership now...besides getting to drive fancy mercades around all day im also friends with the painters...i could get them to paint my case for like 10 bux...i got a silver chieftec which most of you have prob seen..i just duno what to do with it really haha
What kind of Mercedes do you drive? The ones with the names which are hard to spell?Quote:

Aaron,
I'm sure your new case will look wonderful with all your old, oversprayed components.
I hate to say "I told you so", so I'll refrain just this once.
It's difficult, though. :frusty:
Ahhh i would just like to say i was only kiddin (=jk) bout forgetting 2 mask up the vents and shit! man im not that f*%#en stupid. ;)Quote:

ya we were also joking, we knew u were joking :D
well, i know i was, not so sure about clocker though :P
Clocker can never tell.
Generally, I find that it's best to assume the worst.
Judging by the extensive use of AOLspeak that seemed reasonable.
My bad.
:lol: Your so gullible :PQuote:
