What Paint Should I Use?

REX.exe

For my white and black themed build "Noir" (link in sig) I want to paint my EVGA ACX 2.0 FTW 970 white. And I wanted to know what paint I should use to do this.

 

Plastidip seems to be popular, but the only Plastidip I could find is really expensive. What would some other options be? Would regular spray paint work?

 

Thanks for your consideration.

Plastidip! Removable if you change your mind or need to return the card. Also looks better than spraypaint imo.

Regular acrylic spray paint will give you the best finish if you know how to apply it properly, make sure you lightly sand the plastic and prime it first and keep the coats even

Regular spray paint will work no problem, plasti-dip is just very popular for it's ability to be peeled off at a later date. For painting the shroud I would scuff the surface with a scotch brite pad or fine sandpaper and apply a primer first to before apply the white top coat.
