Painting Stacker 832

[Keishii~89]

So after some time away from teh forums, I return with a question:

 

What sort of prep will I need to do if I want to paint my Stacker inside and out?

 

I want to do all the black panels, metallic blue. Think Cobalt sort of color.

 

As for the inside I'd like to Gloss it black. If I'm not mistaken, the inside chassis of this case is raw alu. so will probably need ALOT less work than the panels themselves.

 

Any help with would be great.

 

thanks.

Only bit of modding I've done so far is removing the Exhaust fan mesh on the MOBO tray:

Did you cut that grill off with all your hardware still installed on the tray?

I did, but what you didn't see there, is I had it all sealed off with masking tape and tarpaulin sheets, protecting the hardware from cutting/debris and the like. Most of the removables were taken out i.e. fans, GPU etc.

First of all I did not paint the inside even I am going to in June. On the outside first remove the grills and the front door and then start the process of sanding it down with a 500grit sandpaper first.
