GeForce Garage: Scratch Build Series, Video 4 - How To Apply Three Basic Finishes To Metal Surfaces

By Logan Decker on Thu, Jul 12 2018 GeForce Garage, Videos, Guides

Painting and hydro dipping are great ways to transform your case and components, but sometimes you gotta let the materials speak for themselves. Every expertly worked piece of metal has a unique luster and finish that you can't get any other way.

In today's video, Rod Rosenberg of BS Mods is going to walk you through the process of applying three different finishes to metal, all of them inexpensive and easy mods that deliver great results.

The hammered finish gives thicker metals and badges a rough-hewn, naturalistic surface.

Polished finishes give you bright, reflective surfaces. These are great as panels and trim on cases, but you can polish your entire chassis this way if you want to be able to see it shining from outer space.

Brushed aluminum is one of the most beautiful textures you can coax out of a chassis. Looks fantastic on fan grills, too!
