New to case modding wondering the best way to go about something

So I am investing in a new case and here's my vision for it. NZXT tempest case. http://www.nzxt.com/products/tempest/

I have one of two ideas for this

Either way- The top two fan covers will be replaced with a steel silhouette of ken doing whatever motion I decide on the side colored either blue or black depending

First- Background red and yellow vinyl in the same manner that happens when an ultra combo is performed. The whole case painted red. On top of the vinyl airbrush Ken Masters executing his ultra combo a flaming uppercut. But do the flames in an acrylic mold with orange LEDs lighting it from inside.

If I were to do that I would change all the case LEDs to red cold cathodes

Second option- Background and airbrush gradient going from red at the to to white at the bottom whole case would be painted flat white. On the non window side I want an airbrushed Ken shooting a Hadoken Ken would take up about a third of this side showing only upper-body and hands or maybe just hands. then the Hadoken in an acrylic mold with five evenly spaced out blue LEDs for those of you who don't know what a Hadoken is


For the airbrushing I was thinking maybe a booth at the mall lol I'd get an estimate.

For case color I am going to sand and use either automotive paint or go to Sherwin Williams and see what they think. I will be asking Sherwin Williams HA. I'm planing on buying a cheaper primer as I don't think it will rain to hard on my system and using that paint gun thing they have for rental at the local hardware store.

For the metal working my dad is an avid horse breeder and one of his friends who he breeds with owns a steel fabrication company. He has an industrial lathe which he allows me to use for various projects i.e. battle top for physics, anything that I have needed he has fabricated in days I try to pay the man but he simply won't accept money he says the joy I get from a hobby is payment enough for him. Enough about him though.

Acrylic is what I am most worried about. I have never molded it my experiences is none. Total noob right here. but my plan was to have a casting company make me a cast then liquify the acrylic with a propane torch and cast it with blue or red dye depending on the set up I decide on.

I have no experience with case modding so any help to me would be +rep of course. Always looking for suggestions on my design too.
