I sanded the new case with 320 grit before I primered it, just enough to rough it up a little and take the shiny factory finish off; but not down to the bare plastic. I then layered 2 light coats of primer and sanded it with 600 grit, again just enough to smooth it but not down to the OEM finish. Then I applied 2 light coats of the final color. After the paint dried I lightly wet sanded it with 1200 grit. And finally put 2 coats of clear on it. Bingo, It came out looking the way it did. I put a full body skin from
BestSkinsEver on it while I had it apart and to keep it from scratching.
