do I have to sand it down completely first? or would it be okay if I just rough it up a little with sandpaper?

Make sure you do a LIGHT coat every step so you dont get drips. I use the Automotive paint at Advance Auto parts and if you get the dark bumper coat, that stuff goes on so easy that anyone will look like a pro. If you want to get crazy. Get the bright red Brake Caliper paint. That would light up the inside of that antec case big time. |

You dont have to sand it down completely, just rough it up real good to with 220 grit sand paper make sure you hit the entire panel with the sandpaper by scuffing it. Use satin black like the other members mentioned. It is single stage paint most times you will use. Which should not be clear coated. Check out my project below, and the quick guide for interior tips. I put pictures here to show what my project looked like if you did the satin black. Hope this gives you a idea. Any further inquires just give a shout.
