What Type of Paint is suitable to paint the case?

Post by Shoelaces » Tue May 29, 2018 8:01 pm

I just recently decided to modify my case but ended up cutting where I should not have and it does not look great. I intend to fill it and sand the entire case and them prime it for a friend to put some artwork on the case. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. :)

The Veteran Gamer did a lot of filling in his DSPi build. Here's a link to the forum, and you can private message him to see how filled in the many holes.

He tells us the "bondo" he used on page two.

I used Vallejo acrylic paints with an airbrush in my build. I painted the entire shell. I’m sure you can used spray paint for plastic as well though.

How different would it be if I only wanted to paint a symbol on my case, rather than the entire exterior? Would I simply cover all the areas I didn't want to paint, then repeat the process on the uncovered case?
