    Dave Lalopa from PCDesignlab sent me his Qmicrav2 SFF (small form factor) case to make a painting guide for a hi-gloss black finish. Dave & I narrate during disassembly of the case. Before I start prepping the case for paint, I show you how I remove the rear exhaust fan grill with a rotary tool

    Thank you!

    I worked on it on/off over a weeks time. fyi: If air drying, let enamel paint cure for at least 2 weeks before wetsanding.. otherwise it won't be fully cured and you're liable to create deep scratches

    After the paint has cured, Dave performs system install in the Qmicra v2.
