Paint type?
hi all, i am now interesed in painting my case black and hopefully creating a mirror effect, i found a good tutorial for this. i was wondering what kind of paint should be used on the plastic at the front of my case as i am aware that spraypaint will actually melt the plastic. any ideas?

Melt it?
heh.. Don't know about that.. I painted one of mine black w/Krylon and no problems.. It's a paint I would recommend. Krylon aslo makes a paint that is "just for" plastic.. GL eGo

Krylon thats the Sh!T!!!
I use it on my dirtbike... after 5 coats w/clear finish(Krylon aswell) it holds damn well..rocks hit it @ like 60mph... and theres maybe 2 chips !!
I also used black, and red paint too...
the paint is premixed for plastic
Krylon is the good way too go!
also if ya wanna paint the metal bring it to a body shop!! electro-static works very nice it'll also be a specality for the shop... they'll prolly do it for ya

Hit the automotive stores for "vinyl dye". Use it on the plastic parts.

Krylon Fusion is made for metals and plastics.

Duplicolor is great for case painting as well- maybe they have that over on that side of the pond?

hey all, i have spray painted the side and top of my case black, just wondering if anyone had any idea to what colour the front should be im thinking black again but not sure.
the front of the case is gray and creme where the cds and floppy bays are. i would send in a pic if i could find my digi cam.
