Need help for First time Case Mod

[DivineTerra]

Well first I need to know where I can get acrylic plexiglass in Karachi as I want to install a side window on my current case. I also wan't to paint my casing but I'm confused on how to do it. Do I have to sand paper off the original paint then spray paint it over with the desired color or can I use brush paints, for example acrylic paints. Also how do I get the glossiness effect after i finish painting it? My case is originally black and I want do a black (original), white, and blue color combination with a tron legacy type decal, so do I have to first sand paper the area I'm going to be applying blue and white over or can I just apply the paints over my stock black color? Also is there any shop/person in Karachi that does case modifications?

can we even get acrylic glass anywhere? I was trying to find if anything acrylic was available in Lahore (was after tubing), couldnt find any. Hard enough to explain to the shop keepers.

You dont have to sand paper it, I wouldnt. Just make sure its nice and clean the area you will paint. Not sure on paint but I would think the paint in spray cans should be good enough. Nice even surface (if you do it right) instead of using a brush.

yeah but I'm doing a complex tron legacy desgin in which i have to paint thin lines. Something like this

spray cans would make this really hard.
Also i found some here but I don't know how to buy from aliexpress.com

Hi there, first of all you have to remove the current paint by sandpaper, sand it several times, make sure u sand in one direction else there would be criss cross scratch type lines which will effect the paint afterwords, plexi glass/ acrylic is available anywhere on glass/aluminium shops ... don't use more than 4 or 5mm thick acrlyic, that's enough ... my best idea to you is to take ur case to bike tanki tapay sellers, ask them to paint u the case the same way they paint their tanki tapay ... best quality i've seen ... i had hell of trouble painting my case ... sooo ...

Thanks alot bro, I was actually planning on buying it from aliexpress since i had no other options but now i guess i'll just head over there. Also any idea what the prices are?

yar it depends on how much thickness (mm) you want and how much you want the size matters .... i bought 3 months ago for some mod which i haven't even started on .... what do you plan to do with acrylic ???

it has different rates as per colour , mm (thickness) , how much you want in size .....
