Does anyone paint the inside of their case?

Yep. I have a blue chieftec dragon case and I painted the inside bright white. It really made the case glow with my led fans. It also looks better to me.

I shined mine up with Eagle One Never Dull to give it a better look that the flat metal when it was apart to paint the outside. On my next case I am going to go all out and paint the whole thing inside and out cause I have seen a few on the forums here and it really completes the look of the case.

did you take apart your case completely to spray it? or are you brushing?

just realized it now that the reason im not gonna spray paint the inside is that you kinda need to 100% dismantle the case (drilling out pop-rivets and all) to make sure you get good even coats everywhere, and for sanding. so on second thought.. I probbly wont :)

Remember my Compaq case from a few weeks back? I've just finished pop-riveting it back together, after drilling all the old fixings out and spraying every single panel inside. It looks so pimpin'. :)

It's taken me absolutely ages!

The rigs got to be ready by Saturday, and because I've had a lot of work on, getting the inside paint-job finished has thrown the project way behind schedule. But if I can secure a digital camera, I'll see what I can do about some pics.

Interesting, although I laugh everytime I see you posts because of your avatar. That was one funny movie. I am planning on painting the inside white to go along with my ice/snow theme. I will have 2 blue cathoids and such.

hehe yuo know i will have the inside of mine painted. as for pop riveting it back together for those that dont want to drill rivits . its not that dificult and i was considering it for the top peice of aluminum on my lian li but didnt have time. if yuo do it though yuo can add some coolness by using hex bolts and nuts instead of rivits to re attach it if you have th room and right sizes .
