Now you should have a nice clean line around your design, and it will look great if you did it properly! Let this coat completely dry and cure a little bit (about a day) and then peel off the tape. This color will be the main color of the piece, unless of course you are doing more than 2 coats, which in that case just repeat step 2. You can see mine at the bottom of this post. If it IS thick enough, and dry, tape off the design you want. You might need to do another coat of that color if it isn't thick enough. After the first coat it fully dried (I waited a whole night, just let it sit in the house,) check if the paint is see through. Do about 6 passes then let it dry for 4-5 hours (depending on the outside temperature hotter air dries it faster.) Rushing it will only cause your final piece to not turn out as nice.

Spray the paint on very lightly and go slow. The color you choose will later be the contrast color of the completed piece. Clean off the surface of the metal and apply your first layer of paint. Rub the outer surface of the metal with fine sand paper to help the paint adhere. While you're there, have them bend and cut a sheet of thin metal following the measurements you made. Go to your local hardware store and buy all of the materials you need. > Painters tape (choose your sizes/design) > Spray paint for metal surfaces (choose your color scheme) This price will differ depending on where you live. It is actually really simple, and it only cost me around $20 total. Hey guys! I recently made a PSU/hard drive cover/shroud, and I wanted to share it with everyone, as well as tell you how I did it so maybe some of you can make one too.
