Painting the Tower

I painted the inside of my case. Just took everything off, sprayed it down with hot water in the shower, to get the dust off. Let it dry in the summer sun, did not sand anything. Just a couple light coats of primer and a couple light coats of flat black. It actually turned out really nice, I was surprised and pleased with the results.:D

if you use sand paper you will see scratch marks after you paint.

Maybe if you are using 100grit or lower,but 320grit will give a nice rough yet smooth surface, but spray paint adheres better to a rougher surface, and the paint itself masks the marks that sanding leaves behind. I've actually used 240grit with good results as well.
 
Yah, the paint seems to even itself out on its own... I don't know what grit I used for sandpaper... I just grabbed something from downstairs.
