I need some recomendations with what paints to use.

I wanna paint my case using "Band of Brothers" theme military green and black and somewhat shiny.

I wanna know what paints are best to use and where to get them.

I've tried spray painting and came out completely crappy. Are there any other alternatives other than spray paint? Any help would be appreciated.
 
Spray paint is fine, you just most likely need to brush up on your technique.
Not sure if you want to paint the whole case, or are you trying to paint on the 'Band of Brothers' logo?

Did you prepare the case to be painted? A lot of it has to do with how it's prepared.

Go to www.EddieVanHalen.com and look for posts by a guy named Dino. All he uses to finish guitars is spray cans, and he gets finishes that shine like glass. I'm pretty sure he's partial to Krylon.
 
no im not trying to paint the band of brothers logo...

right now im just trying to get the case to look military-ish...camo like i guess...
 
I've seen a few kids do a camo scheme before but it isn't usually a great look. Your best bet is to mask the parts off and leave the shape you want unmasked, spray it, wait for it to dry, do the next one.
