    I'll be getting a HAF for Christmas and plan on painting the inside flat black, but was wondering if
    a) drilling the rivets out was necessary to painting the interior and
    b) if I could get away with a light scuffing of the surface and paint as opposed to priming, etc.

    I didnt take the rivets out, just taped around with blue painters tape after scuffing with 200 grit sand paper. worked great.

    Make sure you get spray paint for metal. I used a Matte finish but semi-gloss or even gloos will look pimp

    Now powder coating will look great. Too bad nearest shop to me is 190 miles over a snow covered pass, other wise that would have been my route.

    I have a crazy urge to paint the entire thing in a black or dark grey pearl and use a combo of blue and white lighting, but for now I have neither the time or cash. Thanks for the info!
