Well, i've been trying to decide whether i should paint the inside of my case metallic blue, or metallic silver. I can't decide. Here's a pic of my case:

Silver looks better for the inside of a case IMO.

Blue is good looking on the outside, but does not look right on the inside, I am sure if you look in the gallery you will find some.

They tend not to photograph good, and don't reflect any case ligthing as well either.

alright, thanks for the input. I think i'll go with silver.

I've been looking for a nice metallic silver, but i really haven't found anything...what brand has a nice silver? Btw, we have a walmart, autozone, menards, home depot....any help on finding a silver metallic spray paint would be nice.

if you primer it first, this is good stuff.... imo

You could also polish it. Is it aluminum or is it already painted?

Solid is correct. The brighter you can make the inside the better. I did one case that was Arctic White inside and it reflected lights nicely.

SInce you want metalic, something else I played with was metal tape. It gave a great reflection.

Another possible and tough option would be polish the metal and clear coat.

Hey, today i got all the stuff. I got a gray primer and silver metallic rust-oleum brand. I'm going to test this on a spare drive cage before i start taking everything back out of my comp...i think it's going to look sweet.
