    Hey all,
    What type of spray paint should I be using? I've heard about enamel/acrylic, but are there any other types, what one should I be using to spraypaint my case? I was thinking of just using halfords stuff then put a layer of clear coat on top.
    Also can you use metal primer on plastic?

    Thanks for any help! :)

    Hi, im in the same boat as you. never done much spray painting and i wasnt sure what paints to get either. but i have found a really good guide.
    part 1 is here: http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-101-how-to-paint-your-computer-case-part-1/
    part 2 is here: http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-101-how-to-paint-your-computer-case-part-2/

    if you skip ahead to the last pictures on the last page in part 2 you will see the final finnish of the case he shows you how to paint. it is quite amazing. Im definatly going to follow his guide for my first painting attempts.

    Hope you find that helpful.
