Hi all

I've taken my ordinary white case and sanded it smooth and painted and sanded and painted and sanded, with multiple layers of black paint and Maguires cut polish and final cut coatings.The inside was generic white and now it is red, my case is like looking into a mirror(a black mirror any how). I swear you can see everything in it like you would a mirror. Some of my friends says it's better then a paint job on a car. I think I might have found my calling...LOL. Anybody need a paint job?

I just finished cutting a hole in my new front plexiglass window for my clear 4 LED 80mm fan. It's positioned below my CD/DVD rom burner in the other 2 bays.Also I have cut a 120mm fan hole for the bottom front, man do I love case modding.

Total time 30hrs
8hrs fan hole cutting(4 fans) and window(plexi was free with extras)
22hrs paint time(a dozen coats with sanding in between)

Well here we go. For all those who want to see my case mod.The two with the Canadian beer and Lord Stanley's cup are my personal favorites.Yes those are reflections.

Case Mod.
 
holy crap thats one hell of a paint job. I wish i had the patience to do that. i could barely wait long enough for the first few coats to dry before i put the damn thing back together.

P.S. You might want to post this in the alternative modding section. ;)
 
I taped off all the holes from the inside and painted the outside first. I waited 3 hrs for the paint to fully cure and then I taped off the outside and proceeded to paint the inside. The outside panels...side, top and front I took right off and did them seperatly.

NOTE:
I used green painters tape, because it's not to sticky and it won't peel the paint. Hence the name painters tape.
