If you can spot $50 or so and you want just a friggen KILLER
interior finish. Then strip your case of all plastic and screws
and find yourself a shop that does "Powder Coating". Hell, if you
have the cash and you find a shop with some time, you can even
have it Chrome or Gold Plated.

Honestly, if you wanted a Truely Pimp Rig....get your Lian Li
24k gold plated!

Can't plate aluminum they say? Then your talking to the wrong
shop!

I used to custom design aluminum yo-yo's for pro's working on
breaking world records for longest spin and fastest spin and
stuff. One of my tricks was to have the aluminum yo-yo polished,
then "flashed", then Chrome Plated. Flashing is where they first
plate the aluminum with Brass or Copper, then the Chrome or
Gold sticks all nice and happy to that! And looks really really
glassy smoth!

But um...yeah...back to what you were saying. You can have
almost any color they can mix (no metal flakes I've found out)
powder coated onto your case chassy. Then you can paint or
powder coat the exterior as you please!

I personally find painting (properly) the inside of a case difficult,
because if you want that true "showroom" car paint job, you have
a HELL of a LOT of sanding to do. And sanding inside a little box
like that rather sucks. I sanded the inside of my YY Cube just so
my paint and primer have something uniform to stick to. So far
it looks OK, but I purposefully went with a flat paint rather then a
gloss so as not to flaunt any imperfections in the finish...
