Case painting

[Ahov]

I just got the silverstone ft03 mini, which has very nice aluminum side panels (Linus made a video on this case many many moons ago) that smudge up instantly and look pretty greasy from finger prints. I'm considering painting them and was wondering if anyone had any tips and if anyone could perhaps suggest the paint i should use. I'm planning to tape over the silverstone logo so i could keep it showing but kind of considering painting the panels orange.

Personally I wouldn't paint anodized aluminum as many pay lots of money for that kind of finish but if you want to change it I would suggest getting in vinyl wrapped instead. You can have any color and finish you want and cut out around the silverstone logo. At the end of the day it also makes it easily revertible if you want to go back to the original black finish.

interesting idea, I hadn't even considered that
