Id take it by the red oxide primer that you oain old cars?

Nice work so far!

Nope, no involvement with old cars! I chose this primer as it could be used on anything, and I wanted to get the same overall paint finish between the metal case and the plastic front if the case. Also the shop had limited stock of any primer at the time.

I see, Not sure about the UK, but here state side you hardly ever see anyone use red oxide primer. I tend to only see is use on OE car restorations. Honestly I prefer it.

I can't wait to see how it turns out. you really seem to know what your doing with the paint.

Well the painting didn't go too well. Some red "patches" seem to have crept through even after multiple coats of white paint. The inside looks good however; I really like the look of a painted inside of case!

I ran out of paint before painting the inside of the side panels so it has a contrasting red area 😁

It now has a MSI MS-6191 with 550MHz Slot A CPU; 256MB SDR RAM; Voodoo 3 2000 and SB Live! card.

If I can be bothered I'll finish my design, which is based on the FEISAR colour scheme in wipeout:

Automotive primers usually need at least 2 coats with sanding lightly before the first coat of paint. that is why the primer shows. Not completely flat primer surface will create hills and valleys making coverage of the top coat more difficult to lay flat.
