Me watching this wondering if they've ever spray painted anything ever in the history of forever.

Did this with the exact same card, if you don't want a rough surface apply lighter coats... bro just fucking went ham on the paint.

[bilboswaggens]

Your prep work is fantastic. Your paint work however is horrendous. Multiple thin coats is the key not a couple thick ones.

Your spray paint nozzle is clogged or dirty, that's why you have blobs coming out. Painting the fan will unbalance and reduce the life of it... i believe.

Guys I’m sorry but it turned out horrible 😢

1.) I would recommend starting with 400-600 grit and doing a wet sand can be helpful, then finish with 800-1000 for a much smoother look.
2.) You should warm up the spray can a little bit, shake and then keep warming it up until you don't feel the can become cold while shaking.
4.) Then spray a bit into some cardboard just to make sure you get any ugly paint out stuck in the nozzle.
3.) It's best to hang the pieces if possible and spray from further away.
4.) Spray in an upward angle if possible as that is how spray paint can was designed to be used.
5.) Spray very lightly and you first 1-2 coats should not completely cover the object.
6.) You usually only need to wait 20-30 mins in between coats unless the directions on the can say otherwise.
7.) It may be a pain but multiple lightly applied coats will give you a much better result. (minimum of 4 coats.)
8.) Move it somewhere out of the sun, and if possible a dry area will let it cure faster.

I would highly suggest going to watch a different video that teaches you how to properly use spray paint. This is not how to use spray cans.

Yikes....this is not a good way to do this.

[randomguy]

if u want to achieve a more "smooth" paint/feel, after you apply a thin layer of primer and let that completely dry, you can sand it down with some super fine sand paper (something like 1000grit or more) so you now have a smooth surface to spray on and then add a layer or two of white paint

[archetype_origins]

We’re not expert in spray painting, hopefully this video can help out some of you guys who wants to spray paint their GPU. Let us know what kind of fun project should we do next? 🔨

[natedionne]

The quality of this video does not match the quality of that paint job.I had very high hopes and now i'm just heartbroken.

[blvkoz]

Thin coats and remove the tape while its still somewhat wet, not when fully dried. Masking job was really good though.

[asasinxkh]

its not a good move to paint the fans, the weight gets unbalanced and it reduces their performance, they will also die a lot faster, its better to look for some fans that are white already and just paint the plastic cover of the gpu

[Insane_Ranger]

great video but as a automotive tech, the scratch lines could of been removed by going 1 step further either 320 or 400 grit, the lines wouldn't be visible.

[Cogito-sv]

Do you think it's possible to paint brush the Gpu, so it isn't necessary to dismount it?

[TechStudios]

Nobody ever used fine line idk why? Also if you wet the area around where your painting it holds down the dirt so it dies t end on your surface.

I'm also not a fan of painting fans because it can lead to wobbling if its not perfectly done.

[AyashiWolf]

tip dont pain the cables. when it heat up the paint can get lose and fall into the card it self ^^

[mick]

what was the point in the tutorial if you were just gonna spray paint it like that. My suggestion is use plasti dip u get a even surface and can remove easily if u dont like it

[illuminictech]

fun fact: painting the fans will make your fans spin a lil slower, i don't recommend but you totally can

[juiciness]

Thanks for making this video. The steady upclose shots were much appreicated. Everyone else is doing horrible quick cuts and it's hard to make out the quality of the paint job.
