Why would anybody want to do that? Unless you have too much time.

a black interior looks WAAAAAYYY cooler than the normal silver/grey interior man... its highly recommended for UVed rigs as the effect will be even better with the black/dark background.

but then as ive been saying quite alot in this forum lately...

Perhaps, one can try a full black PCB for motherboard, GC, black heatspreader on rams, sleeve the PSU black and spray paint the PSU black, then spray the entire casing UV reactive.
Wonder how the effects will be. tongue.gif

Dropped UV from my plan although i still have a couple of new UV fans n CCFLs in my boxes... i think the problem with the interior will be sanding the layer of paint before re-spraying... with all those bends and curves here n there..

A black interior can be very nice indeed, just be aware that if your paint job is not thick enough and you accidentally scratch something (on the visible part of the casing) when installing your components, you may ended with an ugly looking scratch that is quite visible.

I suggest using either several paint coats or automotive paint, which tends to be more scratch resistant than paint from a spray can.

I did a case mod once with a metallic black interior (automotive paint) and it still looks awesome today despite the casing having gathered dust over the years.
