couching up paint after window installation

i want to use a jig saw to cut out a window in the side of my phantom, the hole will be where the 230mm goes. i wont be able to get c chanel to fit because the angles are very abrupt, 90, 90, 45, and 135 degrees. the edges will be rounded, but not more than about 1/4-3/4 of an inch. if anyone knows how i could still make this look good, paint the edges or something, and tell me how i would do it and what materials i would need i would appreciate it

I have seen mods where the modder used a Dremel with a fine grinding stone to round the sharp metal edges and refine the outline of the cut to get it perfect. A hand file would do it too but is labor intensive and edge support is needed. Paint the final result and it won't need a C-channel but will look factory done.

honestly i would like c channel, however, like i said, those angles are tricky. if you or anyone else knows what i might be able to do to still use c channel i would appreciate it

Hello there. Look at this video, and it will teach you how to do a hole in the case with a dremel...

thank you for the link, but it really doesnt answer my question, but it does boost my confidence in my abilities with a dremel. however im not suer i will use a dremmel or a cutoff whele on an angle grinder. but ultimatly i like the idea of just hacking the two edges of the c chanel so it bends at odd angles

why not just take the mesh out and cut some perspex to fit? youll see all the good bits even with a window that size.

well i dont want to JUST take the mesh out cuz it cas holes drilled INTO THE CASE for a 230/250mm fan, plus i dont want just a circle
