Uk Anyone Know a good Paint Shop

UMxMarky94

Hey i'm looking for a paint shop who will be able to do cases. I can't find one in my local area of Lincolnshire so i am asking around. 

The reason i am asking that i'm planning on modding my case with a side panel mod which will require re-painting and to replace all plastic parts with steel bit of the same design. 

 

 

Also anyone know of a Metal Fabricator who do small to medium sized things would also be helpful

Have you asked at any car bodywork shops? I can try to find a list for you in your area if you would like?

I've heard bad things about some body shops, since they don't exactly specialize in painting computers. Some people have said that they didn't even cover the screw holes when they painted.

True, however that's one of the reasons you go with trusted shops based off of reviews. Plus you could probably just ask them to be extra careful etc.

yeah that can be a problem so you need to do a lot of the prep work yourself as you know the computer case and they don't. you need to do things such as putting screws in the screw holes, taping off areas you don't want painting etc. they don't know computer cases but they know how to get a good finish with paint and steel plus its probably the only places with professional painting gear..
