Holy run-on sentence batman!

After you get everything cut, just sand the metal parts down with some really fine grit sand paper, and spray it with a few layers of clear coat and/or car wax it

i agree... clear coat
 
Are there any other ways besides sanding down the paint of the case and repainting it?
 
you don't have to sand it down, but that will give you the best outcome - a few layers of clear coat will make it shiny but will not be as nice as if you sand the paint down to remove all of the tiny bumps in it
 
No, hard work pays off. Not if you get somebody else to do it for you, you'll just have to do it.

Ahhh...yes, but as the saying goes, Hard work often pays off in the long run...but Procrastination ALWAYS pays off now.

And if youre mod sucks, the following statement could be used:
"Maybe the sould purpose of your life is to serve as an example to others."

-sorry, had a calander from www.despair.com nearby...couldn't resist.



sand, paint, lightly sand with high grit finishing paper, paint again, lightly sand with an even higher grit finishing paper, wipe clean, give one last light coat if you like, let dry well (baking in an oven @250 for an hour also works well...I haven't done it...and obviously this excludes plastic parts). Clearcoat, lightly sand with finishing paper, clearcoat again, sand again, clearcoat.

should end up looking like the finish on a car when you're done. The more clearcoat you put on, the deeper the finish will look.
