Nice style, I like the rotated motherboard. I am a custom automotive painter and I custom painted my case silver/kandy orange, and just a thought for you, the color gold is a very tricky color to "look right" it can easily turn out too yellow or too brown/orangish. If you decide to paint it gold, make sure you choose carefully as from my experience it's quite a difficult color to get it to look how you want it. Maybe an 18k gold paint would be a good choice as it would fall inbetween the colors yellow and copper.

Hi bro.
thanks for the input. before i was planning to mix paint but luckily for me, i found an aerosol spray can here near my place. so i think i will just use the 18k aerosol spray to save me time and effort but will spend more $$$ i think. LOL
 

No prob, I think your best bet is going with that 18k look, that's the best looking gold and truest to color in my opinion. Going with a 24k will make it look too yellow. You sure are going to have a unique looking case with that gold, not many people choose gold so you'll be one of rare few haha! Good luck with it and I would like to see how it looks in the end, maybe post about it here when you're finished.

yeah.. i would definitely post a worklog of the project here in the forum. again, thanks for the advice.
and yeah, i think i know why less people choose gold, the spray can is freakin expensive.. about 15usd per can. demn. hahahaha.. it really is "GOLD".

$15 a can aint that bad when you consider I paid $500 for my silver +120 Orange Kandy + Clear Coar = $620 just for my cases paint, but I simply wanted to paint it with the best I could afford I almost went with chrome instead of silver but it would have been double the price lol... I'll be posting my rig up on MOD RIGS later today. I installed some new CableMod cables and a custom painted motherboard cover yesterday. I'll edit this post later to let you know to check it out, now I just gotta take some HD pictures
