Hi Guys:

How is everyone doing? Well.. I decided that I want to paint my entire case, inside and out, so I need some help with what sort of steps I shoud take. I have done some searches on the site to see what has been posted previously.

Aspire 96.99 7/1/05 = 90.00 (PURCHASED)

I know that I should make sure my case is clean and that I should sand it down and then apply thin coats of primer and then 3 thin coats of the paint I plan to use. THen sand it down and then finish it off with thick coats of the paint I plan to use. I really need some help b/c I plan to use paint cans, and I have no idea which stuff I should use. I know that I want to paint the entire case a black color. Also, I want to protect my case from scratches. That's one of the main reasons why I am painting the entire case. Any advice will be very helpful. Thanks.

k, update, I read somewhere that someone suggested Krylon Indoor/Outdoor.

Krylon Black Paint

go to a automotive paint store
a got a small paint kit of that new color changing paint
plenty enough to do a full tower
40 bucks
well worth it it's a one of a kind

If you want to do a flat color. Like you said, be sure your case is clean. Sand it down. Go to Hobby Lobby or Lowes/Home Depot and buy the all-purpose Krylon in whatever color you want. For a regular case, two cans of primer and three cans of paint should be enough. After you've sanded case down, apply thin coat of primer. Let it dry. Then lightly sand it down again with a large grit paper. Apply a slightly thicker coat of primer, let it dry, and sand it down with smaller grit paper. Then apply another thick coat of primer, let it dry, sand it down with the same sand paper. Then pull out the paint cans and apply a nice coating. Let it dry and sand it down with very fine sand paper. Then apply several thick coats of paint, with sanding between each layer. Layer it until you are happy. If you want, you can put out a few extra bucks for some sealer to give it some extra glean.
