First time painting

Finally had a weekend when I didnt have to work so i decided to (attempt to) make my case a lil more appealing.

I really like the finish on the outside of the case (literally its like a car finish...its so shiny, really hard to take decent pictures of).

I wanted the inside to match it yet subtely...give it a nice flat black finish. I've been building computer's for a while but I'm definitely an infant when it comes to painting so bear with me 8) .
Sanding/Masking:

Primer plus first coat of flat black:

2nd coat of black plus a light clear coat:

Well, I didnt want green wires ruining my black/red theme i had goin,

so, using what I had supplies I had (just electrical tape...ha), I made black covers =)

And here's the finished product....minus a tad bit more wire management needing to take place.

I would have used a couple more coats of black to get a more even finish and added a little more attention to detail but 1. it started raining on me so no painting, 2. I needed my comp up and running by the next night, which it rained through the night and humidity = bad for painting. I figure though it was a good learning experience and give it a bit more "stealthy" look, plus it was fun. My first real project will be much better 8) .
