900D with custom paint

[sgtm]

Hey all. This is the second 900D I've painted. I have to say I'm totally impressed with this case. Wish I could have one for my own. Anyway, this one is being painted with Sparklescent Nightmare Blue from Auto Air and will be top coated with an automotive 2k Urethane clear coat for the ultimate protection and shine. A few pictures:

Disassembled. My client only wants the outside panels painted, nothing on the inside

Had to add a couple more light coats to this one, but it's almost ready for clear!
