    i saw some krylon mystique spray paint at a local hobby shop and wondered if anyone out there has actually used it on a case.....i may have to try it out on my next case.......i just don't know how well it'd work on a case.......it seems kinda cool though.....

    Dunno about the krylon. I paid about US$25 for my Mirage kit, bigger Wal-Marts have them for $17. All three parts, base, mid-coat and clear in the package.

    The Krylon Mystique is $29 in Canada at Canadian Tire for the 3 can kit.

    I've seen both, the krylon cans are quite a bit smaller than the mirage ones, but the mirage doesnt come in purple/blue. I've never used either but have been awefully tempted. Hey linear, how many kits did it take to do yours? i read your article, but cant remember.

    I did it in one kit, it was a midtower supercase. And I did the bezels and drive blanks as well.

    I ran a little short of the clear coat was my only problem. you could use any clear lacquer though, so says the guy at the auto paint shop. (That's one advantage of buying supplies at a paint shop--free advice.)

    QUESTION: If you were spraying that type of paint a la macro black, yould you invert the order of the constituents. Normaly base mid and tp would you paint top mid then base and would it still work?

    if it were possible..i would think that the top coat would not be needed....but it's hard to say without trying it.........that would be interesting though

    Yep, if I were doing the back of acrylic, I'd skip the clear and do a midcoat and a basecoat on top of it.

    haven't seen blue/silver..........you might have to get the blue/silver custom made or something... http://www.matsui-color.com/prod02.htm has a whole bunch of them....but there may be someone that makes blue/silver
