To spray use the normal can spray would do . . . before that u better try any method to take off the old paint, or the new lyaer of paint will peel like it did on mine too lazy, haha y
Get the colour u want and buy a clear coat spray to protect the coloured paint. Ask the hardware shops, they know. If u want good paint it'll cost $$$.
Bout the arylic . . . no idea try to make a blowhole by urself or send it to anyone that knows how to do 1. Nvr try to attempt without the proper tools, ull just waste the acrylic. Intake or exhaust . . . try both or make lotsa blowholes . When ur done, post la some pics

before spraying , sand the whole alu so that the old paint come off isit?
then i use those spray ppl use to spray boards or ads one la?
then after spraying the colour i want. spray clear coat spray ?
okay..i try..

and dun wan post pics,damn ugly . no face to show =(
and thanks!

if u sand be careful . . . get a finer sand paper or not got lotsa scratches. If u wan safe then get spirit or any paint remover. U said got scrathes coz of side panel right . . . the u can sand those areas using the fine sand paper i guess. The proses . . . is like how u did kemahiran hidup at school la, all the wood projects . . . post la pics, nothing to worry or 'paiseh'.

to sharpen the edges properly i use the aluminium paper wor.
so now nidda buy the sand paper and sand the WHole panel again?
coz some part i use the alu paper and sand the original black coat came off adi.
so i tot of sanding everything off then respray the whole panel...
how?
get sand paper for fine sanding?

yaya, sand until left metal . . . paint gonna last longer definitely. How fine or rough . . . up to you.

owh ok.
1 more thing i wanna ask u , i pm u ar.. coz not regarding case mod

How about painting the interior of the case?

just google around or click my sign....to paint inner parts...

yeah its better

good luck on spraying ur side panel, do share ur work

paint removal is good thing to consider too

cut a newspaper with the tribal or 'tattoo' as u like and spray.

Sob Sob... anyone can guide me to paint my casing interior flat black.....

just take out everything that u dont want to spray, leave only the casing frame then spray. No need to file or anything since its already the metal.

Usually ppl will remove both the side panels, top panel and front panel.
Then they`ll spray the whole frame with the desired colour.

before spray, make sure the all the dirt on the surface is removed
(sorry for the bad English)
