I have a TT armor lying around in the basement, not doing much at all, but am thinking of moving my i7 rig into it, but it needs a paint job badly
a few months back i spray painted it but this has got uneven and started flaking
so should i add layers more of paint?
or should i somehow remove all of the old paint?


Edit:
ok here are some pics- any ideas? - i guess this is more of a 'mod ideas' thread now:)
(pics are just uploading)

Your best bet is if it has flaky paint to sand back the prime undercoat then repaint and clear coat to finish
 
You'll get away with just sanding the old paint down but if you want a super clean finish then get yourself some acetone and take the old paint off first. Btw, I love the Thermaltake armor =) What colors do you plan to use?
 
ok...sanding it is then
im not sure of the colours yet, i don't want to do red and black again,
i saw a white one once, but it looks very hard to do, i might go read and white...or something more...exotic ^^
