Paint?

[spearball]

What kind of paint can i use to paint over the aluminum body of my case?

 

[just a noob]

rustoleum primer then rustoleum paint, i think that kind of paint is called self etching or something along those lines

lol you're asking this on a computer forum in the Computer Cases, Power Supplies and Cooling section. why?

 

[jdbennet]

because its about case modding duh

Wouldn't you need to sand the case back and then paint it.......

 

[bomberboysk]

Unless your case is already bare metal you should sand it, then use self etching primer(any kind should work) on it, and then hit it with some rustoleum or krylon/krylon rust. You "could" skip the sanding/primering if you want too, but your get a little better finish on it if you sand/primer.

Several years ago I took some plastic spray paint and painted the inside and outside of my computer, I can tell you from experience that if you do not sand/prime the case, it will chip VERY easily.

Thanks everyone. Guess i am going to have sand/primer then before i apply some paint.

Guys last thing, i noticed on my case before i start painting there is the bottom HDD cage which i want to remove. But it's stuck to the case with some kind of "stuck on screws". Anyway i can remove these? I Don't need the hdd cage anymore.

they are called rivets and you need to drill through the center of them
