+J Nichols yeah but how many people do you know that repaint the exterior of the case with the same color just to make it look better vs. the interior of the case where there are lets say different areas where you can use different technics, like, how to make the paint resistant to scratches from the side panel or hdd bay etc. and stuff like that.

For the people who want more details, when dry sanding you go from a low (200) grid to higher to smooth it out. Clean it off and then prime. For the wet sanding use a very high grid one since you're not trying to go through the paint layer
I love how they forgot to film putting on the actual paint and had "fake" it.

Nice work!
How much do I have to sand down before spraying? Do i have to remove all the coating from before or just get a smooth surface?
I would love to see a guide to paint the Graphics card! Hope you make a future episode.

very informative. The modder in my approves

General Harambe to my undestanding the coat just protects the paint from scratching off. If you want a matte finish there are coats for that. //sorry I’m 3 years late but if you’re the same kind of procastinator as me you probs haven’t finished it yet haha
wat is those paper u was using them to polishh pls
What if we like the color on our case already, but want to paint a design on top. Would you still advise to remove the original paint, put a new coat of the color I want and then finish it with my design? Or would I be safe applying my design on top of the original paint?
@HunteyDrojasLocas

I think you need to put a layer of primer, and then paint your design.
"COAT HANGER" get it?
I recently did a bodge job for an old pc i wanted to practice on. and i can say i did everything from having the job facing down to not using primer. anyone got any idea how long that job will last before it starts to flake off? (give it to me straight doc)

@@OcDmn Hello, im so glad you asked. 3 coats lightly done with 3 hour intervals, the job was done with masking tape over painters tape, gave me pretty good results. the paint has degraded a little bit with bits coming off but that is honestly me being a idiot when moving it around. job worked well.
Great vid! I too have a video on my channel that explains how to custom paint your PC.

+Darkknight aza Thanks. You will get to see the finished paint job in a future episode. Since we will be adding airbrush details, we couldn't apply the clear coat which is a critical step to the painting process and explains why we used just a panel.
What should I do if I only want to paint a section of the case? I want to paint a symbol on the center of the case but I don't want to sand the whole thing down and I want to preserve as much of the original metal as I can.

Although a brilliant concept, there is most certainly *not* the little guide hole on every aerosol spray paint can. Not on most actually.
he said add paper to not waste tape, why did he cover the paper with tape?

Well ofcourse you can buy custom cases but it's quite expensive, but you can also buy tons of premade cases so if you dont really wanna have a crazy design just go with a normal retail case.

I see lots of shadows in your finish coat. You should have sanded after the first coat and resprayed another coat before the clear. You make this FAR more difficult than it is.

Tell us please, what happened to the brown paper and why not to use brown paper, having to then cover the back entirely in painters tape. These garage videos are a joke right?
