painting aluminum

[jarthel]

I've seen various guides on painting computer cases. BUT the ones I've seen uses steel cases.

I have an anodized aluminum chassis that I want to paint black (hoping for a mirror finish).
There are scratches that's why I wanted to paint it.

Can I use a guide like this: http://www.mnpctech.com/case-mod-paint-computer-pc-case-mod-how-to.html?

if not or additional steps are needed, any links or tips?

thank you.

Sure, that guide's good. Just get a self-etching primer that adheres to aluminum.

Most do, just make sure it says so on the can to be certain.
