How hard is it to take apart a case?

[Type-8]

So i've never done much case modding, but i'm looking to put together a new build in a few months and the only case i really like the look of at the moment is the Coolermaster Mastercase Maker 5T (i'm not nearly as fond of the regular Maker 5's). Unfortunately, its heavily detailed with red, and my build is going to be black and white.

The red accents on the outside are easy to paint, but most of the inside of the case is also red. Soooo, my question to the OC3D family is; how hard is it to take apart a case like that to paint the red part white, and then put it back together? Or will it be too much trouble and will i be better off just respraying the whole case black?

Thanks in advance

Cases can be very different tbh. Youll mainly need a drill and different sized drill bits to get it apart (onces youve stripped down the rest of the crap on the case to get to the shell)

Then to put it back together youll need rivets and a rivet gun. again size differs but you can get cheap guns from hardware stores. I normally buy black rivets so you dont see them so much though.

I haven't had the chance to see 5T in person, but on some cases you can do a ghetto paint job when you mask the black areas with tape, and just paint over red ones.

Really needs stripping on that case
