Specific type of spray paint for case painting??

[sokol]

I used Plastikote on mine, I did about 10 coats in total I think... I also have the Antec 900.

This is how it came out;

Looks nice are you gonna put a finishing gloss coat on it.

I don't really have a sand blaster on hand to use. Are they expensive?? because I know sandpaper is cheap.

That one seems popular on amazon... I'll check other places. You could probaly rent one from a hardware store or something as well.

Check that like or go to Home Depot or Lowes and check their sand blasters, You dont need a big one that atentora provided is great, just make sure it has power.

Nope, I wanted a matt finish to it, so I'm going to leave it as it is.

Looks great, on my next build I will custom paint my case.

ok, so I was orignially going to replace my PSU with this:

basically just because it is black. I already currently have an Antec EW 500W which is doing just fine so really it was just the colour that I wanted because I am painting the inside black. Is it possible that I just spray paint the PSU? Has anyone ever done this before, is there anything wrong with doing it?

 

[just a noob]

i would say mask up the openings and then paint, like get a power cord and put that in the psu like it would be normally and mask it up, i'm not saying like just one layer, more like 3 or four, make sure no paint can get it, but beware, you will void your warrenty

well you will need to look for paint that says it will work with aluminum (or whatever your case in made out of.

Most cases are aluminum, some are steel.

Yep, Rustoleum works pretty good. I use Gloss Enamel
