Hey everyone I have a question about painting my Haf X. I want to paint the metal mesh and wanted to know if I should strip the paint. If so how would you go about getting between all the small holes so that new paint will stick?

I would try roughing up the old paint with sandpaper and see if that will work, otherwise to strip it leave it sit in a bath of paintremover overnight and that should take care of most of the little areas.
