Paint issues

heya,

Now i cut a window hole on the side panel of my case and i was very vareful and taped it all up. but now the damn tape got torn andthe side panel is scratched senseless. I was wondering if any one know exactly what color PC beige is?

I was thinking of going to a car chip repair place but i doubt they'd be able to help since i havent seen many pc coloure cars around.

There's different PC beiges unfortunately. I suspect that most PC cases are powder coated rather than spray painted. This tends to give a different finish.

You could always respray the whole PC, but this is a significant amount of work!

Welcome to AOA Forums, RenegadesRemors!

Some folks line the edge of the hole with a plastic or rubberish(?) "liner" or "gasket" that hides these indiscretions.

Sorry to hear about the nicks but..... Sounds like a good excuse to do a complete paint job :-D  . Once painted it's almost like having a new box and one of the easiest mods you can do. Good luck which ever way you go.
