I will be making PSU extensions for my PSU cause I don't like the flat black design. The wiring I will be using is 18AWG Primary copper stranded that I had from a different project I did just wondering if it's possible to use it in the extensions. This is a link to it http://www.ebay.ca/itm/18-GAUGE-WIRE-RED-2500-FT-PRIMARY-AWG-STRANDED-COPPER-POWER-REMOTE-MTW-/302167926589?hash=item465a9ca73d:g:UU4AAOSwMgdXzvp5

My suggestion is to re-examine your premise: "don't like the flat black design".
Do you already have some other just black PSU extension cables? Your post seems to imply "yes".
Wire color does not effect function.
Unless there is some specific and objective issue with "flat black design" extensions" skip the matter. Use what you have.
But if the need is otherwise you should be okay with 18 AWG stranded (color not functionally relevant) as the resulting cable, with the proper connectors, will be more flexible.

No my PSU has flat black cables like most either they come with ketchup and mustard or flat black I am making a 24 pin and 2 8 pin extensions. Also I am asking because most if not all of the guides I have seen use tinned copper and not full copper stranded wires I was just wondering if there would be any problem with the wires being full copper stranded and not tinned copper stranded

Yes. Thank you!
Much better.
