I have this "Plain Jane" beige case, that I'm going to be modding. I have cut out intake holes, the stock ones restricted too much air. I cut a hole in my front bezel for an intake hole for the front fan to breathe better(it also looks cool with LED fan ). I'm going to be putting a window in the side, 11x9 inch window, and add a 12inch UV CCFL. I'm going to also cut out the metal for my 80mm exhaust fan, since the stock hole restricts air as well. After all my modding to this case, I want this plain case to look great. So What paint should I use for the case? Should I sand and prime the case just like I would a car? What clear coats should I use? On my front plastic bezel, Should I use a different paint, since it's plastic? Any help would be appreciated, This is going to be my first case painting. I'm thinking about doing some designs to the front. I'll try to get pics asap of the case.

I think the best thing for your case would be to paint the bottom part on your front bezel a high gloss black and the top part a flat black and the same high gloss black for you sides and top panels. you shouldnt really need to prime it just make all the surface scuffed up so as the paint can bond to it. the front bezel will need the Krylon Fusion Paint as it will work the best, and save you time and money from preping it. thats my .02

member you gotta send me pics once your done. no matter what you do.

Thanks, I think I've heard of that Kryon stuff on techtv. I'll go see how much it costs. That flat black idea sounds pretty cool too, I think I will do that. Will the flat black scratch easy, since it doesn't have a clear coat? I want a very long lasting paint job. What kind of paint should I use for the steel?

that fusion stuff shouldnt scratch at all. but i always prep the surface just to make a nice good contact.
