Alright, ive been looking around at a couple of stores (ace, autozone) and i dont know what the best paint to paint my case is. I want a very professional looking case and plan to spend alot of time (and money?) on it and i think the paint job is prolly the most crucial thing. So what is a very good quality paint and where do i get it?
 
automotive paint > paint in a can.

take it to maco and have them paint it. For cars maco is crap but for a computer the paint will be much better than spraypaint
 
I had good luck with duplicolor.

The quality of the job is about how much care you take with the steps. Getting a paint shop to shoot it will cut down the time you spend sanding down orange peel texture.
 
Very nice paint job, i had to take a second look to realize i was looking at the side of the case and your reflection, it's REALLY clear.
 
Linear , your site IS a damn good spot for painting info good tips :)

I did the same thing. I spent about 30 seconds thinking to myself "Why did he post a pic he took of himself with a mirror" at first I thought he was strange then I discovered that it's the best paint job I've seen.
 
Hey linear! My little brother saw me reading that article and didn't realise that it was a reflection! Damn good job I'm going to have to paint my case now.
 
Alright thanks guys ill prolly just get some of the duplicolor that you can get at autozone(?).:)
 
yup, I didn't follow Linear's guide...but the results still show...:)
I use Krylon and nothing else....works wonders for me...
