Case painting

Hi Guys.

 

I've decided that I want to paint my Fractal Design Arc Mini R2. I want it to be white in color. Not glossy. Matte is good.

 

Am I required to do sanding first before applying a top coat? What color of top coat would you recommend to make the white color more white? 

 

What type of paint should I use? 

Thanks in advance!

You will need to prep the surface by scuffing it either with a light sandpaper or scotchbrite, as for paint options espically for white or blacks the best usually are automotive brands as they tend to have more vibrant and brighter colors. 

 

If you want more details I have a guide here that goes over all of it in General Painting:
