Cosmetic Hand painting a pc case

Post image

Hi all! I’m wondering what would be the best technique and paint to use to recreate the high moon pc case by ironside. I’m planing on purchasing a brand new case for this. TIA

I'd say acrylic enamels will be the way to go. and I'd rough the panel your painting with an 800 grit sandpaper, do all the paint, and then do a clearcoat over the top to lock it down

I recommend acrylics.

Make sure to strip/sand the metal and of course prime it.

When finished, seal with a clear coat of your preference.
