    Iam gonna be doing some modding :dremel: to my front bezel when it arrives which will involve me using filler.

    The case i will be using this on is the cheiftek dragon, does anyone recommend any paint to use and what do i need, do i need any primer ect.

    The case is silver incase u need to know this.

    Also our halfords store is opening on friday so if i can get it from their please recommend a make.

    Cheers

    Yes, after mucho sanding of the filler, you WILL need to primer+sand+primer before you paint.

    Be SURE to let the Filler dry 100% (directions) before you do any painting though! :thumb:

    Not that I have seen. Just watch out for Metal-Etching primiers, as you don't need those.

    I normally would reccomend the Krylon Fusion paint since it's made for plastics and good adhesion - but I am not sure how it would react to the Filler/Bondo...

    You could use jsut about any Primer. I was just saying, don't pay extra for "Metal Etching" primer if you aren't painting unfinished metal... :D
