    Hey guys!
    This is my first message (and question here) :)

    My question is what's the easiest way to take off the case original painting? Im trying to do this using a sandpaper but I need something easier.

    I own a Thermaltake Xaser III Blue case.

    thanks a lot! :)

    Welcome to the boards!

    I've always found sandpaper is usually the easiest. Try paint stripper, may be faster but I've never had much luck with it.
    (personally I think you should keep it blue)

    tks :)

    Since I don't have any tool to use the sandpaper, what sandpaper kind do you recommend?

    I own a Sandpaper for metals, its "thickness" is 60 but I'll take years to finish the paint removel... unless i'm doing something wrong :(

    use 200 grit wet/dry sandpaper, works really fast for removal

    I've used a 36 metal sandpaper, every paint was removed
    Took a little time, but worked :)
