Default How to fix this giant scratch on the Antec 900?
Hey guys, I'm sure somebody could help me with this little problem I'm having.

I was wondering what would be the best way / cheapest way to go about fixing this Batman shaped scratch I have on my Antec 900

I'm not sure why the previous owner of this case decided to carve out the Bat symbol here...





thanks a bunch!

I would disassemble the side panel and do a complete sand/primer/paint/clear coat. That is just some nasty scratchin, fortunately sandpaper and a couple cans of paint wont run you much more than 20 bucks. best of luck...

should I use spray paint or real paint with a brush? Also would wood filler work for this (since I have a jar in the garage) or do I have to get a special "steel" one?

I'd do a repaint; that or do a Batman-inspired case mod

You shouldnt need a filler. A good sanding and PRIMEing will make it very nice. Spray paint will work just fine. Use something INDUSTRIAL quality like I did. works wonders.

Just curious where did you get this case ? Craigslist?

Also I would go with a total sanding and repaint like Capwn said
