Where people get their custom paintings done?

I'm wondering where do people get these amazing paint jobs done for their computer cases? I would love to know where, what site I visit, and such.

I can't draw or paint for nothing. Like, I barely could draw stick figures.

stencils + masking tape + razor blade + steady hand

Want to, honestly do, but my lack of art skill and no work space = bad results.

Its not that difficult. Just remember if you're using a rattle can, stay a good 8 inches away from the surface you're trying to coat. That, and watch some tutorials on how to spray paint a side pannel or something. After that, do lots of coats and take your time. 

Do you think like copying pictures of the internet and trying to draw them?

From my garage.... Print out a pattern, cut it out with a x-acto knife. Then, get some stencil glue(this is a required step, otherwise your edges aren't going to be clean) and follow da directions and stick on the case! Then cover up any portion you DON'T want painted, I usually use some painters tape and some printerpaper. Stay about 8inches away, and spray 1 thin layer, let it dry 10mins, spray a thin layer and let dry 10mins, and just continue until it looks how you want. and make sure they are thin coats each time! if you do thick coats, you will end up with a gobbled, drippy, gross messy. Let it dry to the touch. Then CAREFULLY pull off the stencil.

When you say layers, you mean like going over and over the same thing right?

My whole life I thought is was an exacto knife.  Thank you
