I know it was too early. You had said you would not work on PRiaGH until you finished the Case Mod Competition. If it is over, you can start working on PRiaGH! *Chuckles.*

Well I'm hoping to bring this back .
What can I use to polish the aluminum and acrylic? I can post some pictures of what I have at my disposal, but I'm wondering if fine-grit sandpaper might help? The highest I have at the moment is 1500 grit. I've got a cloth-polishing bit for a drill, and a foam bit also.

I don't know what I want to do with this mod color-wise and I'm going to use colors from any sponsors I may get as the case color(s). Since the case doesn't really have much to paint, that means the HDD bays and various lights. I also may paint the aluminum edges on the outside. I can mock up something in photoshop if you guys think that would be a good idea.

Well I dont know much about aluminum.. but If you want to polish acrylic.. YOu might wanna go 40Grit to get the surface straight. 240Grit 600Grit and then 1000Grit and 1500 Grit wetsand. I then finish it off with some Novus 2 polish and a lint free cloth.

OR

you can do some 800Grit after the 600 and then use a buffing wheel with a buffing compound.

I have some of that buffing compound, but I'm thinking it would be best to skip the sandpaper (maybe 1000 and 1500 if there's any bad scratches). Basically I'm looking for options in case I find a scratch where something rubbed up against the acrylic once I remove the plastic coating.
