Hey guys,

Ok I want to spray the inside of my case black, but i don't know where to start... Like which spray paint would be best for this?? should I coat the inside with something else first or what??

thanks guys

Spray it first with a primer then use black spray paint. The paint i use is made by a company called SprayON, Spectra also makes good paint

Just be wary of painting. Wait at least a month before putting your stuff back in so the paint can cure properly. Also google a bit and find a guide.

Most important thing is to paint in a CLEAN area with no dust. I painted my old case and F***ed it up. I did everything I could but those dust particles WILL F*** your paint job up. I then bought a new case because of it.

I would suggest taking it to a professional place or building yourself a clean room before painting.

And clean the surface with some solvent before applying the primer. Those old oily fingerprints will mess up a good attempt.

Why don't you send it off for powdercoating? There's a range of colours available and fairly cheap to do and the finish is excellent and durable.

If you are going to powercoat you have to strip it down to bare metal, acid etch/sandblast etc. It won't take over existing paintwork. Quite a mission.

If you pick the right powdercoater then they'll do that cleanup for you.

For powdercoaters in your area, just check in the yellow pages. You could also probably find a sandblasting company to clean that case up.

It is a little mission, but powdercoating is a very nice finish and it lasts.
