==== Paint mods ==== Painting a case is another method that case modders use to distinguish their system from others. [[Spray paint]] is the most common method preferred among amateur modders.<ref>{{cite web | publisher = Rob 'linear' Arnold | title = case mod 101: how to paint your computer case | url = http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-101-how-to-paint-your-computer-case-part-1/ | access-date = 2009-05-07 | archive-date = 2009-04-30 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090430225742/http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-101-how-to-paint-your-computer-case-part-1 | url-status = dead }}</ref> There are many spray painting guides for amateur modders. This finish cannot be compared to automotive paint or [[powder coating]] {{xref|(see also: {{slink||Less common modifications}})}}, but it is a simple way to change the look of a case. Re-coloring the plastics of a case, keyboard, mouse and speakers with vinyl dye is another method that case modders use to highlight their own system, making them different from the rest. Vinyl dye has the advantages of ease of use like spray paint, but it is much more durable as it does not chip or scratch off. It also does not create a βlayerβ like spray paint or similar.
