my first custom case (a work in progress) with pics

I decided that I would start this thread to show off my first modding project. I bought my case a few months ago and it already had a custom paint job and some other stuff but I didn't like it so I decided to redo it. So far I have the entire front panel painted, a window cut out of the top panel and im planning a window on the side and painting the whole thing. So far here's a pic of the front bezel

I bought the case for $25 from colorcases.com about a year ago now. It was silver with aqua blue trim, and had two clear 80mm fans on the side. Don't know the exact brand though I think its just a generic. I was also wondering what is the best grit sandpaper to use for stripping the paint. Also what kind works best for stripping plastic.
