« on: August 26, 2008, 12:20:49 AM »
hey I recently recived a old Pc which Im planning on case modding, Installed a red cathode and Leds, I cut a window but before I install the Arcrylic Im gona paint the entire case Black. I want to hand paint it with a brush becuase I want a brushed looking finish. Ok I have sanded all the surfaces.

Ok What type of paint should I Use?
Any other Tips?

Yea thanks guys, Im also gona add a thin line of blue flames but I am pretty good at fine detail painting so sweet.

Peace

Your best bet is to try an emamel paint as it will give you a really nice finish but i highly recommend useing a enamel based spray paint as its a much easier job and you will get a nice eavn coaing all around. If you really want to hand paint it, i would do the fine work first thencover it with marking tape to give the fine details a crisper look.
