Default Aluminum Case Mod Paint?
I am going to do a mod on the Rocketfish case I just bought, I think the inside of the case is made of aluminum. If so does anybody know what brand makes quality black spray paint for this type of metal? Its going to be my first case mod

Oh and links would be nice too!

i recommend rustoleum that that can be bought almost anywhere that sells paints. they run around 5$ a can depending on the the type of finish you want.

Get some self-etching primer and some good automotive-grade paint. Plus perhaps a bit of clear coat.

You made need to scratch it up for it to stick right. I'm not sure if there is a coating on the aluminum.
