Looks good Jwood!!!

Small guide to painting outside:

1. Remove the top fan mount, drive cages (disassemble them so you can paint metals) and remove the side window plastic and intake mount.
2. Wet sand all metals on the case with 180 grit (a bit of soap). This will take the paint off very quickly. Only use 180 on painted surface. Once it's down to metal immediately go to 400 grit and start working on smoothing the surface. Use 400 grit for the rest of the non-painted surfaces.
3. For the plastic use scotch brite pad to scuff the surface up.
4. Time to use self etching primer. This will give a super chemical adhesion to the rest of the paints/primers. SEM makes a good one.
5. Plastic don't use self etching. Just use plastic adhesion promoter.
6. Onto the high build primer. Use 2-3 coats. Spray lightly but evenly. I haven't tried to use it on the plastic but next project I'm going to make the gamble.
7. Once the High build is dry wet sand with lot's of mildly soapy water in one direction with 600 grit. Do this until surface is smooth. Try to use a sanding block.
8. Onto the base coat...
9. Whatever you decide to do whether it be a Candy, pearl or other job you should use some sort of top coat... found here for FYI: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...%3Den%26sa%3DN
10. Read the instructions on the can for this one. It's tricky. It didn't go so well for me but I did learn a lot. They say you can do some wet sanding with 1000/1500/2000 grit but it really take a lot of time and know how. In 6 months after the cure you can also do some regular car buffing to it to get the shine really out. However it should shine right away. It didn't really shine for me how I wanted it but like I said it was a learning experience.

I have pics posted pages back but here are a refresher to new Antec posters.
