So im getting a pc for emulation. The case is coming in a few days and i kinda wanted to spraypaint a gamecube logo on the top, how would i go about doing that? I know i need stencils but that isnt the issue. What kind of spray paints? I can only find tutorials on how to paint the whole case but i just want one simple logo.

You can't just paint over the powder finish on the metal. There's no paint that sticks on it well. You need to sand it to make the surface rough. I guess it's possible to sand only the stenciled area but I'd bet it'll end up looking crappy. If I were you I'd either not worry about any of it and go with the cheapest paint that's the correct color or forget about painting and order a custom vinyl sticker online.
