I had a case here to do a project like that but my friend needed a case so I gave it to him. I'll get another one eventually.

remember to get some primer, and sand the thing down a bit before applying it, just my 2 cents

First angle is the only bit of daylight I see on my days off with my favourite rugby teams flag above my screen.

Second angle shows the fan that points at the case which I only use during summer as the room is so small.

Third angle shows my other favourite items besides my rig and motorbike. They are my guitar, graphics tablet, Oakley watch 9 ( 1 of 63 watches ) and of cause my blackberry

Depends on the paint your using !

Some work fine n dandy with no primer.

do a small tester at the bottom of the case, somewhere it will be easy to clean off if it looks shit : ]

I find car paint works a treat, hell if you have a poundland near you the car paint they sell works insanely well


Here's an example of poundland paint with no primer




But as I said, do a tester first, it sticks to some metals better then others.

Steel works great, Aluminium is a bit fussy.

When I did mine I used 4 coats of primer. Got my stuff from B&Q. I have yet to put a clear coat on but will do when summer arrives as the paint has matured now on my case

Can't wait, really... Black interior is the only thing that this case lacks IMO (real men do not need dust filters )

ok Here it is being prepped.



Here is the primer coat of flat black




OK now while i was spraying the motherboard tray, i gust of wind blew something into it and it stuck to the paint and i panicked! I took a old rag and tried to wipe it out but it smeared it so i had to wait to let it dry then took a sand block and ruffed it back up. i resprayed it but that one spot looks alittle ruff.
