The Paint Job on the Thermaltake Core P3
Applying the primer
We had to apply 2 coats of primer. This will give us a good base for the color paint to bind. I couldn’t find any white primer … all the hardware/car stores in HK only sold brown anti-rust primer. So this is what we used.
Applying the color
Once the primer has dried fully, we sprayed the color paint. White for the feet, PCIE brackets, reservoir holder and the PSU mounts. The orange color paint is applied to the main chassis casing. Again, 2 coats of orange paint was applied (more if you want).
Applying the gloss and lacquer
To give the whole chassis a nice look and finish, we applied 2 coats of high-gloss lacquer. This is a vital part of the paint job, as the lacquer helps protects the chassis and gives it a nice look.
After the strenuous paint job … the Thermaltake Core P3 Chassis is ready for the PC components which will include the latest motherboard, graphics card, SSD, DDR4 ram and of course Thermaltake’s watercooling parts.
The Thermaltake Core P3 Chassis Build
Building and putting the Thermaltake Core P3 chassis together was fun. We had to be careful not to scratch the paint. The end result was pretty promising.
Next we install the Thermaltake watercooling components and CPU waterblock …
