LOL... The concrete stain cost almost as much as all the materials. Instead of the six pack I would have had to buy a bottle of Jägermeister and do a bunch of Jägerbombs. haha. The clear came out very good. You could polish it more and get a even clearer finish. Not that it isnt reflective already.

I saw the krylon camo paint it is making me want to do a army camo case with all those different camo colors. It would be a variation of the theme with the classic camo colors and rounded camo print. I would want your ok as to not rip off your mod. Lol

Excellent job man. Bravo!

Btw, I am still colorsanding mine its taking forever im starting to hate it but I have to get it done albeit slowly. Color sanding automotive clear is a lot different then spray can clear and a lot more work it sucks.

Mmmm Jagerbombs lol

I have no problem with anyone wanting to do their case like mine. I doubt i'm the very first person to think of that design for a computer case; maybe the first OCN user to do it, but it's probably been done before.

That said, I don't think i'd like to see someone paint their case exactly like mine and call it original. I don't see that happening though.

So go ahead, paint away!!

**EDIT**

I think I could polish it more too, I might get a 'lighter' rubbing compound like you suggested and try that.

**EDIT (2)**

Also, i've seen those krylon camo paints (rustoleum makes their own line of camo paint too). Not sure but, those paints might have some sort of enamel to help protect the finish - even though they are 'ultra' flat. I don't know if that would pose a problem when trying to clearcoat. (If you go that route. I guess you could just sand some of the enamel down...idk)
