That is in the plans, trust me. Just sitting here looking over at it is driving me nuts lol. I will tell you what (and you prolly know this as well), if I was to carry in those panels like that with just paint on them, I would have scratches out the butt on them. The great think about this powder is that it's harder to scratch. The down side is you may have a grounding problem that could cause some issues with your computer. Other than that, I will never paint another case

Thank you. And, I have to say that this is actually faster than painting. If you read the link in my sig, it only takes at most 20 minutes to bake the part and once it's cool (really fast with sheet metal) you can start putting it together.

Wow that's a very good looking case, keep it up! How much did it cost you to be able to do this? (hardware + the powder separately)

The cost to coat the case was about $2.00 plus the electricity to run the compressor and oven. For the cost of the gun and all that is involved in the coating process, I have all of it broken down in the link in my sig. It's too much to put in this page but if you have some connections, you can get started for under $200 and that is with quite a few colors to choose from.

It's a long read with a whole lot more pics. Be sure to post in there and let me know what you think about it.
