Hey guys just wondering if having a fully painted case such as corsair C70, is safe to touch while building in order to discharge any static. I used my wrist strap hooked to a painted part of the case as there is no bare metal anywhere including screws. Is the paint conductive in order to discharge static. Thanks guys

Yes, paint is not a resistor/insulator. Get an anti static wrist band then clip it to your case to ground yourself. Or clip it to your "plugged in but turned off PSU." Because your PSU has a ground wire (that 3rd prong on electrical plugs is the ground)

OK the only issue is I already built it touching the painted metal and everything works fine I'm just worried because people say static can damage and you won't even know
