what case is it?

Just remember the pre-painting work, and use the right paint!

[MzCatieB]

dont forget to use primer and sand it down a little, it will give a better finish and gives the paint something to stick too

The case is a phantom 820

use a wet and dry sand paper, the spray with 2 layers or primer (Black for dark colour white for bright colour) then spray with your wanted colour.

its easier 1s you take apart the entire computer, individual panels make life easier and gives a cleaner finish.

make sure you remove the front connectors and spray at a distance of about 13 inches to give a better finish.

also don't forget to do a few layers of paint. loads of people dont bother with this but it gives the cleanest finish

Hey, I'm interested in painting my case too, what kind of paint should we be using? Any specific brands that are good?
