    Alright all... I've been dying to post this. I just finished my mod and re-paint. Yes you heard it right. I had originally painted my Antec 900 (seen a few pages back on this thread) and just finished.

    I started off by stripping everything down to the bear metal with 180grit wet. Once I got it down to nothing I used high build primer. Come to find out I should have used self etching primer first then the high build (oh well).

    After I sanded the primer (2 coats worth) down with 600 grit wet I started my deep blue pearl paint job. Used smooth even strokes... So I got the paint from a auto paint dealer here in town. Professional paint in a can! Yeah... you heard me right. He put his professional paint in an aerosol can. Charged me $15 a can... Not bad huh?

    Then the clear coat (after 3 coats of paint)... I used a whole can of this stuff. Got it from the same guy. I sanded the clear down with 2000 grit.

    Finishing product: Oh yeah... used black gloss for interior. Got it from autozone.
