hey there. As you know my post from how to make my case shinny,,, I want to paint my case the same grey... excpt an enamel paint. now...
1. where do i find the paint color? Use reuglar paint for walls? or spray paint as you see in Auto stores. that match the car color...

2. Do i have to sand my old case and paint or just paint over it? (i want max. look)

3. Thats for no... i guess ill have more thing later on.. Thanks!

aight first thing....sand it down with about 300 grit. get all of the paint off. you just want to see the silver metal beneath the paint. after all that, get a spray can of primer from the auto store. Put on 2 thin coats, just make sure that you can't see much silver from under the paint, and make sure that the first coat is dry before you put the next one on.

next, put a couple coats of the actual base coat on. get about 3 spray cans (you'll need it to look good) of the color you want. spray very, VERY light coats. don't try to cover the entire surface on the first coat. it takes about 3 before you can't see anymore.

after about the 3rd coat, grab some 600grit sandpaper and sand the dry paint down lightly. this is to get out all the imperfections, such as hair, dust, scratches, etc. put 2 last coats on after that. always make sure the surface is clean before you spray.

after you've got that (don't sand after those last coats) get a can of clear-coat. take about 3-4 medium thickness coats of clearcoat, and then you're about 90% done.

wait for the whole thing to dry (about 2 days). then you can put your box back together, or if you want it to look nice, wait for the paintjob to cure for about a week, and you can take a high-quality wax, and just wax it. then lemme tell you, you'll have a definent eye-opening case.

and if you want to take it even a step further, get a polish called "Curator's Choice" at www.englishcustompolishing.com and use that as well.

hope that helps!

ok ok i want to add a hinge to the case. and was wondering wat to hold the other side of the case... Would it work??? should i use magnet or wat?

it should work as long as its done right. what your gonna use depends on how you want it to look, you could use a computer lock thingy, but i dont suggest using a magnet becuase that could possible damage your comp. i highly doubt that it will but its still possible
