Yes guys, didn't know what to do this weekend...
Since a long time I didn't like that ugly grey Eheim 1250 in my beautifull Lian Li PC-70...
So here's the result:
Ligthly sanded, degreased, one layer of primer for synthetics, and three layers of silver paint...

Idem, but prefilter in blue metallic paint:

Not bad, although I say it myself:

Outside in the sun, with the 90° PVC turns treated the same way:

excellent! what sort of paint did you use? - a silver vynil die or a regular metallic paint? i take it you had to take the whole pump apart, right? - or did you just mask it off?

Thanks guys...

First a layer of special primer for synthetic surfaces to assure a good adheration, and then regular metallic paint...
Yes I dismantled the pump, which is very easy, and then I masked it off too.
