Hello gang,
I have cut out an opening for a window in my case and everything went well except for a couple nicks and
I would like to touch them up but not quite sure which BLACK to use.I tried the flat black I used inside and it is too flat.Was thinking maybe SEMI-GLOSS.
Anyone know?

you know after thinking about it I don't think I'm going to get a perfect BLACK match so thinking maybe to turn this into a WIN I could paint the panels a different color to add contrast so it doesn't have to match the other black.Any suggestions.Right now theme is black and white.How bout APPLE RED panels?
Just a thought. Any ideas gang?
Thank you

I hate to break it to you, but someone stole your graphics card, and left wads of paper towel in its place.:)

Looks nice. I like the white fans, as well as rad placement.

that's cool. thx erocker. how could you tell the internal was a little off from the external black from the pictire? good eye.
Hey ckoons1, if you want to match the black on your case a little better, I recommend this black satin paint: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...24X-_-202016508&locStoreNum=4919&marketID=164

The flat black you already have sprayed on there will work as a good primer. Give it a moderate sanding with some 1000 ~ 1500 grit sandpaper first as the end product will work much better.
