What kind of paint should i use to paint my case?

springs113 · Aug 16, 2014

I just received my 750D and I would like my first mod to be a paint job...what do you guys recommend to use?

I believe the front is anodized aluminum. I wouldn't paint that. The rest you could use an oil base spray. But do a spot test in an area that you can't see first (bottom)
I have the 550D and sanded off the anodized front. I wouldn't recommend that ether it was a bitch. If you want to paint the plastic trim then they make paint for plastic

Looks pretty great though.

You talking about mine? yea I was happy with the results but my hands hurt for a week

I thought you could buy replacement panels for the 750D but no. None available. Not like the 550D you can buy all of them

If you want to just use a normal aerosol spray paint, I recommend Duplicolor or Plasti-Kote (get them at an auto supply store). I used Duplicolor when I did my HAF 932. You are going to have a hell of a time though since the factory coating is powdercoat, so if you want to do it right you will have to get rid of the factory coat. For that I recommend sand blasting like I mentioned in your other thread, then doing a primer, normal paint (whatever color you choose) then id probably do a matte or semi-gloss clear coat.

It seems like such a waste, more like a lack of taste, to get a nice looking case like the 750 and then muck it up with a so-so custom paint job. Just my opinion, but a classy clean case will win out over custom bling every time.

I was thinking the same thing, but figured someone else would mention it since I already asked him why in another thread.

Maybe he just wants a mural of a tiger on the side or some flames
