Best paint for to match aluminum cases??

jst_sum_dude · 12-August-02, 02:38 AM

I just bought an aluminum case and I want to paint my drives to match. Ive seen various spray paints from Krylon, Rustoleum, and Plati-kote. Anyone with an aluminum case use any of these or another brand?

Actually, there's a few how-tos. They do more than just paint the drive to match it. Go here for information on how to match those drives. I believe there's a couple other ways to do it, but if you look around on the modding sites, you should be able to find it.

Thanks Hgoale!

jst_sum_dude, I found the Krylon Dull Aluminum is a very close match for the brushed Lian-Li finished.
