So, for my future building I am getting a MasterCase 5. And just like my keyboard, I want to go full force with the customization. I want to put some carbon fiber vinyl on the side panel and then make a design from a CS:GO skin on it (I may do Dragon King). Question is how to I make the design on the vinyl? And what do I use to do it?

Welcome to the Forums!

 

For vinyl if they are fairly simple they can be designed, drawn out  on the backing paper in reverse and cut by hand using an exacto but if it's a more complex design with lots of pieces if would be a good idea to see getting it custom made by a vinyl cutter which would be more accurate and save time. 

 

For installing it I have a guide here under Vinyl wrap and Decal of the new Modding FAQ:

Haha, thanks but I think you misunderstand me. I wish to paint or some how apply a design onto the vinyl.

The design will either need to be vinyl itself or painted on using a paint that will adhere to it (not sure what's available over there)... I'd personally rather go for vinyl on vinyl... allows for easier changing at a later stage...

Some places are able to do vinyl printing for custom signage so that might be something to look into, it would basically be a large printer sticker that can be applied.

Your best bet would be to look up local printing or signage shops that can do stuff like that.
