What do I do to remove all the paint? Give it a bath in paint thinner??? I can't sand it off... It takes too much time... I'm on my 3rd can of paint. This is getting expensive...

I was working on MIDNIGHT (Apevia X-Dreamer II), and I accidentally mixed lacquer paint with enamel!!! So you can imagine what happened... I had to sand it off and try again. I had the same effect on the second try! HELP!
I am sticking with Krylon Multi-Purpose, because it's good enough of a look for me, when it works.

Perhaps find a local sand blasting company?

Seriously ... for your needs ... it might not be too expensive.

acid bath!

I agree, find someone to sand-blast it. You could even have it shot-blasted, same as sand-blasting, but with metal shot. It would look pretty cool, though it would likely round off most corners.

Wouldn't Sand Blasting be to hard for a case? My Dads Company uses sand blasting to clear the rust off of Dump trucks and such. I would recommend trying a paint thinner. Let it set for a while, then the paint should wipe right off.

Edit
For painting your case, you could have brought it to a Powder Coating company. The one here in ohio Only charged me $200.00 to powder coat my whole lian li case. Would have saved you time and frustration.

just buy paint stripper at your local hardware store,spray or brush it on let it work it's magic for an hour or so and hose it off with water.No sanding needed or sand blasting which can warp thin metal.

bead blasting. it uses ground glass of different grades to remove paint / smooth surfaces. we use it at my uncle's car shop to clean heads and such for motorcycles. I've used it to remove paint from N2O cylinders with moderate pitting on a fine glass. You should be able to get it the way you want, but will probably need several coats of primer/filler.
