I was about to say the same thing looks like sprayed to close you can see parts look very thic than others but I like the video might do my 4090 x gaming slim white
Prep work is also horrendous....Im a pro industrial painter, and SHEEESH 240 sand paper is wayyy to harsh !!! and yess multiple tinny coat of paint, almost i you just want to ''fume'' the pieces not fully covered them.. like what 5-6 very very light coat would be muchh better :))
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
Nah bro 120 is super fine, that will work a treat. I paint houses for a living so everyone, 120 grit for sanding after primer coat has dried then do super light coats until you have the right amount of white. Then 1 coat of clear for protection
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? 🔨
this hurts my eyes man.... T^T Clean parts with alcohol before sanding (this prevents any grease to be sanded inside the plastic) use *steel wool* for sanding next time this prevents deep scratches and its easier to hit those hard to hit spots. clean with a brush and cloth after clean with alcohol or any degreaser again that does not effect plastic. (not kitchen soap) hang everything up so it does not touch the ground. use a plastic primer, with a fine muzzle. (put a light layer on it as thin as possible but still covering and go for the hard to hit spots first) let dry and after and really lightly sand it again with the wool and clean with a duster and cloth. then apply color (use a fine muzzle spraycap again) NOW do a really light layers of paint , try to go for the hard to hit spots first lightly and let it dry then the whole thing (fans inner blade corners for example.) no need to rush the first layer does not have to cover all at once take your time. why hang the items up? so filth cant get on it easily, and you can do both sides in 1 go, and you can get easy to the hard to hit spots . a airbrush would be best to paint the gpu **also try to apply the paint as thin as possible because after spray painting your fans will not be balanced anymore and they can break faster** P.S my English is not great
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.
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.
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.
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.
The reason that turned out so bad is because you prayed way too much paint on there your first two or three coats should barely even Coatel the thing they should be extremely thin coats or else get bubbles and puddling better yet just don't do it keep your warranty or just buy a white GPU instead
@@Savethepandabearsehhh my job is being a painter so I know what ya mean when spraying anything you always want a thin coat. You’ll have to go over it a couple times and it’ll come out looking good compared to any other way of applying paint spraying has the best results. It’s just easy to fuck up if your not doing it right
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.
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
or you could have used white vinyl sheets and stick on the cover of the gpu that way looks more clean. that is also less dramatic and would look shiny.
Unfortunately, the customer requested that the full GPU be white, including the fans so vinyl stickers were not an option

Alucinante trabajo, quedó muy bonita, yo no pude usar pintura y usé vinilos de colores del EVA-01 en caja de PC y tarjeta gráfica, un saludo desde Toledo, España.
I would highly recommend that you remove your GPU. If you're using a paint brush, I would definitely avoid painting the fans and only pain the plastic areas.
First off thanks for the video Im not gonna get on you about the paint job but I think painting the fans I wouldnt do just cause they are blanced from the factory and it might cause issues down the line.
…why didn’t you just unscrew the pieces on the shroud you didn’t want to paint… I mean I am literally looking at the screws in the video…also you didn’t primer and you just sprayed globs of paint on and then you didn’t clear coat… but you do you.
You don't need to be an expert at spray painting, light and thin coatings you did say patience is the key but you went all out with a thick layer. But otherwise still good video.
yeah dont sand anything if youre watching this video and reading comments yall, that dude fucked that whole thing up with way to much paint for one and using a WAY TO ROUGH GRIT sandpaper for this type of job lol. Hell if you really wanted to and 800-1000 grit is WAY BETTER why the hell would you want to sand down something used for wood and PLASTIC 🤯🤯🤯
There goes your warranty please do not do this if you have a new GPU that still has an active warranty it's stupid and will leave you with a useless GPU if something happens to it if you want a white GPU stop being broke save your money and buy a white GPU that or make sure whatever GPU you're about to ruin is used and the warranty is non-existent on it
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.
🫣
Use a 2 in 1 paint primer... primer always comes out blotchy!
Your prep work is fantastic. Your paint work however is horrendous. Multiple thin coats is the key not a couple thick ones.
Thanks for the tip
What's the difference $20 in four $5 bills or two $10 bils

NOW do a really light layers of paint , try to go for the hard to hit spots first lightly and let it dry then the whole thing (fans inner blade corners for example.)
no need to rush the first layer does not have to cover all at once take your time.
why hang the items up?
so filth cant get on it easily, and you can do both sides in 1 go, and you can get easy to the hard to hit spots .
a airbrush would be best to paint the gpu

Thank you for the support! We are not expert in spray painting but we are certainly trying our best and show it to you guys!

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.
Thin coats and remove the tape while its still somewhat wet, not when fully dried. Masking job was really good though.
the spray painting technique hurt
we agree
Yikes....this is not a good way to do this.
🥲
Agreed. Painting method was horrible. That card is completely wasted.
Why what do u think is a better way

Guys I’m sorry but it turned out horrible 😢
If you can afford to buy a white GPU, then get a white GPU.
Still infinitely better than anything I could have done @@archetype_origins
Appreciate the encouragement, we needed it 😢
Your other videos are still pretty awesome
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
Yes, we agree that painting the fans is not optimal. If you have the option to opt for an already white GPU, then that is preferred!
You can use radiator paint on the backplate
Yes we can! However, the GPU is gonna be vertically mounted, and our customer requested to not paint it
or you could have used white vinyl sheets and stick on the cover of the gpu that way looks more clean. that is also less dramatic and would look shiny.
Unfortunately, the customer requested that the full GPU be white, including the fans so vinyl stickers were not an option

Thanks for the positive feedback, we appreciate it 🫶🏻
Just doing this now on a Asus rtz 2060 Evo ye the cutting out of the letters were a real pain but so far it looks good, just hope it works again 😂
Do you think it's possible to paint brush the Gpu, so it isn't necessary to dismount it?
I would highly recommend that you remove your GPU. If you're using a paint brush, I would definitely avoid painting the fans and only pain the plastic areas.
Rip fan
🪦
Awesome tutorial
Glad you liked it! 😉
I’d be getting some lift off or something to wipe the paint off on the RTX side and where ever else there is paint 😮😬
Can't the sprayed part just be ordered in white?
Or I'll bet AliExpress has it.
First off thanks for the video Im not gonna get on you about the paint job but I think painting the fans I wouldnt do just cause they are blanced from the factory and it might cause issues down the line.
we also do not recommend painting the fans but did so per the clients request.
Looks nice from far away
Yea, there’s still some rough edges when looking at it close up
@@archetype_origins not bad I like !
Thanks ❤️
Hello, so why you don't make a varnish?
…why didn’t you just unscrew the pieces on the shroud you didn’t want to paint… I mean I am literally looking at the screws in the video…also you didn’t primer and you just sprayed globs of paint on and then you didn’t clear coat… but you do you.
Awesome ❤
Thanks 🤗
Its clicking cause the fans are off balance after all that spray paint you threw on it.
Hmmm, hate to say it but that’s untrue
how not to do it
It's a joke, isn't it? have they messed up the gpu for such a bad result?
You don't need to be an expert at spray painting, light and thin coatings you did say patience is the key but you went all out with a thick layer. But otherwise still good video.

Looks horrible sorry, but it's not easy. Paint layers are too think/chunky.
airflow (cfm) in minus
That shit looks awful, not to mention you painted the FANS?
You are indeed correct. Painting the fan is not recommended
I think I’m just gonna stick with my old gpu or just break my piggy bank and get the white edition asus rig strip 😂…
That is definitely the safest option for piggy 🐷
Guys no offense but they way you did the spraying was horrible..if anyway paints like that its gonna totaly ruin the looks of the parts :/
Yes, we totally understand and that was our first time spraying a GPU, will do a better job next time 👍🏻
There goes your warranty please do not do this if you have a new GPU that still has an active warranty it's stupid and will leave you with a useless GPU if something happens to it if you want a white GPU stop being broke save your money and buy a white GPU that or make sure whatever GPU you're about to ruin is used and the warranty is non-existent on it
It's not a problem to be black guys don't worry
🤣😂
Sorry but you did that process very badly...
what???
🤯🤯🤯
First layers should be like 25% opacity then u go up slowly with lots of layers like that
lesson learned 🫡
The paint job is bad
Not our best work 😅 we are more PC builders and not painters
there is so much wrong with this video ....
Def not the smoothest paint job. That pain sucks.
🥲
what a mess
Horrible paint job, to much paint in to short time. U did wonderfull prep and killed the paintjob to bad.
It was definitely a learning experience. We hope to improve and learn more about this for future projects.

so bad, 0 finishing
is she single? im tall and white
Like the GPU!

horrible ptdr
LOL. This paint job is so bad.
Looks atrocious
