Hello all :)

I decide paint my case so I'm confusing about some things :(

a) a friend told me not to do it because I will have a problem with tempature transfer from my room into case (I use 4x92 fans on the case now) and he told me that more heat will be transferd in the case because my new color use. (I will not paint it black)

b) how may I paint it? with spray? and what kind of spray?? Is ok paint it with a small airbrush (the same which another friend paints his plastic models) and use acrilic colors?

I know that it little boring but ;)

Thank you all

First off, tell your friend to lay off of the cheap drugs. Painting your case will NOT raise your case temps (and btw, I DO have mine painted black :) )

As for how to paint it, use a spray, preferably out of a gun, but you can bomb it if you want. You'll want to sand down to the metal, and then prime it. Then you sand the primer down smooth, and paint it. Let the paint dry, and sand the paint smooth, then paint it again, let that dry, and then clearcoat it, and sand it again w/ 2000 wet/dry polish paper. It'll shine like the sun. Good luck, and happy painting :)
