TheyCallMeGunny Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) I have an NZXT Phantom. I've already started the painting process in an isolated structure, doing all the right things. But I have a question regarding an image transfer:Are any of these methods viable ways to apply an image to the side panel after the final color coat layer and before the clear coat?The methods I know of (simplified for brevity) are:1- Inkjet printing to aluminum flashing. If using this method, I would "frame" the flashing in to hide borders.2- Wax paper toner transfers.3- Solvent based toner transfers, involving "dissolving" away the medium leaving only the image.The image in question is this: The case itself is going to be primarily two-tone: Dark black and a medium-dark grey. Gunmetal Grey and a darker metallic gold.EDIT: My concern is not that it won't work, I know that any of these (save the solvent method possibly) can and would work. The question is, would the applied image be of worthwhile quality on such a finish or is this a lost venture? I'm hoping someone has tried this or has enough experience to give me an informed decision. Don't want to ruin a few days' painting with an image that throws the whole thing off.
