Re: Project Scarlet|Ti #3
Hello 2kpro, thanks for posting! The project looks good! Well since you have already a CM case maybe you should get in touch with them even for fans or PSU

Thanks for the nice words! I had already tried to contact CM Italy, but without response, probably I had not yet delineated well the project! However on your advice I contacted them just now

Grazie per le belle parole! Io avevo già provato a contattare CM Italia, ma senza aver risposta, probabilmente non avevo ancora delineato bene il progetto! Comunque su tuo consiglio li ho ricontattati poco fa!

Re: Project Scarlet|Ti #6
Small UP!

As you can see I had to move the cage inside of HDD, for reasons of space, since in the front I will install a radiator 360! I think I do later the holes. because those in case are not useful; so I can place the port HDD to a fair distance between the radiator and the power supply! Now beginning to mask all the pieces and then paint it!

All for now! Stay tuned!

Re: Project Scarlet|Ti #7
Other UP! Finally paint! I used a red metallic paint which comes closest to the Red Scarlet, I hope to look good color! Unfortunately from the photos the color is not exactly what it seems! When I'll finish the work, I will do the photos with reflex and lights!

Thank you!

Here is a Big Up as I promised!

Resized Image

I unplugged, with the hair dryer, the label from hdd, I took me some time to not throw too much heat on the HDD, then to soften the glue have been there a good 5 minutes!

Resized Image

Then I put on the kit box of screwdrivers, the adhesive because I didn't know which on the surface to keep it for not to make him completely lose adhesiveness

Resized Image

Resized Image

I masked the HDD to paint it quietly and then cut the upper ribbon with the cutter precision to cover only the part in relief and the inputs of the screws! Getting what you see in the picture above!

Resized Image

Here I gave a primer because it did not take paint well, in fact I had to removing paint and do it again!

Resized Image

Black paint!

Resized Image

That's what I obtained! The edges could not come better than this! Then I touched up by hand with a brush and paint spray!

Resized Image

Resized Image

Now it masks the contrary! And so red!

Resized Image

Here cutter precision I gently removed the tape paper after first warmed a bit with the hair dryer! Always better to warm it up a bit 'otherwise you risk that take away the paint below!

Resized Image

Removed the first piece, no damage to the paint!

Resized Image

Removing the second piece, painted screws and glued the adhesive after heating it! I put a pinch of attack where it didn't adhere! Usually it doesn't adhere on the tip that one removes first!

Resized Image

Here's the finished result! I hope you like it! If you have suggestions for improving the quality of workmanship didn't hesitate to tell me! I'm curious of your opinion!

For the moment that it's all! At the next UP!
