Painting!!!

[gaz_the_chav]

I would like to paint the inside of my case (psu and brackets etc) and I was wondering what is the right type of paint to use?? I would like it a nice green... lol

This is going to be part of my new project (Project: iPod Nano)

Cheers

try green paint :p that should work :D

but seriously, you should get some paint that works on your material, I think your case is metal, so get metal-paint...
most paint will actually work well on metal surface... maybe you should use some primer

No offense, but that wasn't really a definite answer there, Silver.

I highly recomend the Duplicolor brand spray paint. It's automotive quality paint, and it comes in lots of different types, including my favorite, Metalcast, which gives you a nice anodized look. If you go to their site and watch their videos and stuff, you can really learn a lot - http://www.duplicolor.com/training/metalcast_training.html.

Otherwise, any enamel or lacquer paint will really work. Just make sure to at least rough up the surface a bit, unless you can get some metal etching primer - that's really want you'll want to do.

My recomendation - follow the Metalcast guide I sent you. Prep the surface with an etcher, then paint following their tips, and give it a nice deep clearcoat.

I know it wasn't a real answer, I'm not really an expert in painting...
but I just couldn't hold myself, I had to make that green paint remark thingie...
I didn't want to just post some useless ****, so I tried to give at least a little advice
