best way to paint an aluminum case?

[heyheyhey]

so, i wanna paint my case, but dont want it to scratch, or look like crap, so you guys got any recommended paints? and about sanding.. how high should i go in grit, and how much of the old paint do i need to take off? oh, and i'll probably need a good clearcoat, so, any recommendations? thanks.

Go to your Sherwin Williams and get some Self Etching Primer. Is the case already stripped to bare metal?
