Custom Painted Case

Well, my baby girl is growing up and she needs a computer. The thing is, I want to paint the case ... kind of like an extreme mod. She has a fetish for Hello Kitty so I am going to paint the case pink! LOL!! The thing is, I don't know where to begin???

The case is one of those old school beige boxes. So do I need to sand? Or lay 10 coats of paint on it and 5 coats of clear coat?

I would say bring the case to a model shop or paint store or something, those guys usually know a lot about paint and could maybe help you out?

Start with this - I did it myself, so it's doable. Just have a template of Hello Kitty available and use it to paint on the side of the case.
