Painting a PS?

[Nexrus]

I'm really wanting to buy the Antec 850 power supply... the only problem is the bright yellow doesn't match anything I have. Would it be possible to paint over it with black or blue with some type of heat resistant paint?

Thanks

Yes - but you'd probably want to take it apart and only paint the case and not risk spraying paint onto the innards. This would likely void your warranty.

Why not opt for a psu that you don't have to paint? A Corsair TX750 is around $80

Yeah I had planned on taking the case off when painting it. Is there any particular type of paint that people use to do this?

I want the extra watts and I also love modular cables

Sand it down with 400g sand paper, then spray with a cheap rust paint, like tremclad or rustoleum.

Say gbye to your warranty too

Eh, I guess. With a small piece such as this, wet sanding probably isn't necessary...

I'd rather rough it up a tiny bit, rather than getting the sink/bathtub full of water.

To each their own.
