Good paint for case modding?

[naca1227]

I was just wondering what is some good smooth and clean paint that would generally retain the texture of my case. Especially the front of the Fractal R4

[Surprise]

The good paints tend to be acrylic automotive ones that require an air compressor and a cupgun. The only other option are the spray cans. Its really easy to tell the difference by looking.

 

If you don't have a cupgun/aircompressor you could all ways pay someone to powder coat your machine.

I'd try Tremclad/rustoleum, Krylon or Duplicolour.. Ducplicolour is a bit more expensive for a smaller can, but its automotive paint.. I'm not too sure myself, but those are the 3 big brands I think about when I think of spray painting..

Thanks guys. I was thinking that I should use automotive paint as well. I will give those a try!

i use the SEM black trim paint for a close sheen match on my Arc Midi.

the texture really can't  be duplicated other than powder-coating or

paint mixing. because the P-Coating FD uses 30-35μm which gives the

orange peel texture and uses low baking temps so not to warp the thin

steel.
