Anyone can spray paint their case. It’s not too hard to get a decent looking paint job from normal cans of spray paint. But to get a truly extreme paint job, the kind you’d see on a show car, you’ll need to apply some plain coat, and a healthy amount of elbow grease. Fortunately neither one is very costly.
Every time we apply paint we pick up an “orange peel” texture. That’s inherent in using a rattle can to apply paint.
Try to use that as an indication to back off the pressure on your sanding block. 600 grit is very fine, and when the surface approach flatness, you’ll feel the work piece “grab” your sanding block. If you keep up powerful pressure at that point, you’re likely to cut through. Low spots will illustrate up as glossy black pits against the matte where you’ve sanded. You’ll need to dry the work piece to see these, but they show you where you require to sand further. Work spent flattening these will pay off–otherwise they’ll explain as dimples in your finish.
