NZXT Tempest WIth 360 rad/rivet guide/ paint
This is going to be my fiances build. She picked out the case. I just know how to do what she wants to do to it. She wants it black and green and a decpticon symbol on the case to. I will be using distilled water for coolant, V6 Stinger block for the cpu, mcp355 pump with top,1/2 barbs, 7/16 tubing and bitspower res
Now for rivet removal here is a vid I made
here is a guide

OMG what have I done
Now on to painting. What I did is that I sanded the original paint to bare metal. For the plastic part I use a scotch brite to rough off the plastic.
I used etching primer which in my opinion is the best you can get. Also use automotive paint such as Duplicolor for spray paint for example. I did 3-5 light coats of primer. I then painted the case Green/ black doing the same process do 3-6 light coats. Light coats are the key here. Then I used a clear coat 3-5 light coats.
here is a guide that will help you guys out
