Im planning on painting the inside of my PC as part of my upcoming moding project, and wanted to know what type of paint i should be using? Is there any brand or type in particular that does better than others. I have a TT Tsunami case and am looking to paint the inside gloss black like the exterior.

Also does painting the interior have any affect on heat dissapation or ambient temps? And will the paint chip of flake when putting components back in or should i apply clear coat as well?

Cheers
 
Make sure you rough up the inside really good to get your primer to stick. Use a special primer made for indoor metal surfaces and says its specified to bond to smooth metal surfaces. The primer is probably the most important part so it doesn't flake off. For paint, I like automotive paint in the spray can from www.paintscratch.com. They also sell the clear coat in spray cans too. 2-3 coats of primer, let dry -> wetsand. 3-4 coats of paint, let dry inbetween. 2-3 coats of clear coat, let dry for 2 days min, wetsand with 2000 grit or 2500 grit, rubbing compound, wax, polish. Thats not really necessary for the inside of the case, but it gets an automotive quality shine. You could probably stop after the clearcoat not even needing to wetsand and polish it. It should look pretty good for the inside of a computer. But.. if you do a search, you would have seen this has been covered about eleventy billion times. ;)
