SEXUAL!!! Now when you re-assemble, be sure to let us know if everythings fits ok or if it was a pain to put in (Such as HDD and DVD Drives). Also, Did you re-rivet?

The HDD did scrape the bottom some and it was somewhat of a pain, but more of me just worrying about taking the paint up and trying to figure out how to get it back in without any damage. I didn't scrape off any of the plasti dip when getting it back in.

I didn't take any rivets out and don't feel it was necessary.

I have read negative results with using clear coat, apparently the plasti dip just soaks it up, but since I didn't try clear coat I can't guarantee that. You want it shiny instead of dull looking?
I agree that primer isn't needed.

There are a lot of negative results using clear coat.

Doesn't chip, it peels. But do 3 or more coats and you won't see a problem with peeling either. Just be sure to let each coat dry for awhile... and not by touch either. Let the coats dry for hours. It's going to feel dry after an hour, but trust me, give it another hour or 2 before putting another coat on. You'll see outstanding results and protection.

The plasti-dip is coming off where the panel slides against the inside, but its not a big deal since that can't be seen anyways.

I would like to use this on my Tempest. Will it be okay if I just spray this over the paint that's already on the case, or will I have to sand it down to get it to adhere properly? I don't have patience to sand everything down.

I did that to my case which was blue

it will take about 2 coats, 3 to be safe

When I use this stuff do I need to worry about protecting any threads on my case where screws will go?
