mmhh wouldnt it be better with less "holes" but bigger ? Less resistence to airflow ?

The fan is an old corsair ML120 - It has static pressure for days so resistance is less of an issue.

The idea was to make a duct that would direct more air towards the back of the case and in theory feed more cool air to the GPu and the SSD there which is just being passive aggressive and hiding in plain sight.

It still works in its current form.

Do you think I'm going to need primer?
No. Primer is used to act as interposer layer given the desired paint something to stick to. Paint doesn't nee any help sticking to cardboard as it a porous surface.
(this is still a ghetto mod right? right??)
Yup, but it looks good. Nicely done! Peel those Amazon labels off and paint away. You'll have a very decent bit of handmade kit!

Little update.. the fans are strong, and the tape had no chance :D

I just peeled it off and went back to air cooling..
Metal tape. I promise, it'll work very well for your project need.
