you will probably be better of taking it to your local body shop by the time you buy the paint, sand paper, primer, etch primer and all the other crap it will be around the same price + they will get a better finish and you wont have to spend ages doing it my tj07 will be going to my local body shop soon

Do any modifications and give it a test fit before you even think about painting or what ever you decide to do with it just to make sure your going to be able to get everything how you want.
Once i ended up painting a frame on a cheap case before i test fit any of the hardware going into the case just to find out the disk drive cage was in the way of the only place i was going to be able to get the 24pin power cable to fit without running it over the top of the parts, ended up having to tear it all down, cut the hole then repaint it all.

Dam that sucks! I'm planning a rog logo on the window and the window to be made to look like its smashed through if you get what I mean
Then the rest of the case red accept the plastic grills on the top and side as its the ft03 case yh I know it's small but I want a challenge haha!

The ft03 is the tall cube like one isnt it? if so it might be a bit hard to get a window in without showing all of the random fans and off angle fan holders and stuff, would be awsome if you managed it work a window in nicely tho.
If you arent to bothered about a window but still want to do something different you could allways cut out the design and put red and dark smoked perspex behind it then light it up with some white leds behind it off to the side to get the eye logo worked in there still.

Yh that's a good back up plan! I've done a ghettofied picture of what it will hopefully look like well a first draft anyway but can't upload it from my phone

Kinda thinking red lights as well mike over power it haha!
