what was the finish? paint or wetsand or clearcoat? cause i allways find that wetsand makes it look dull/misty so i finish with a layer of paint... which usually has orangepeel.... how much time you spend sanding?

sorry for the questions lol but trying to educate the noob painter in me lol...

The white is glossy so that didn't get a final sand, but the black is matte and did get a final sand. And then a proper clean with some spirits.

But we added paint hardener in the paint mixture, so that also helped a lot.

Here's a small update. I got tired of the case just sitting around gathering dust, so I slapped my aircooled rig in there. I can't run water until I fix my radiator (It has two small leaks, and I'm way too busy to actually care at the moment).

So here are the pics.

Things look pretty neat inside don't they? :D (Ignore that cable on the right that popped out)

And one last party shot:

I love the SATA plugs, it's fantastic. But I wanna route the SATA cables behind the motherboard panel next time I open the case up.
