Does anyone know what spray paint I can use on my floppy drive to match the Chieftec blue color?

I would reccomend using some vinyl dye for your floppy drive, it actually soaks into the plastic versus paint which simply sits on top of the cover, leading to lots of chipping. You can get the dye at any auto parts store, dunno about what color would match the best tho.

I would suggest taking an extra drive cover, bringing to whatever store near you that sells paint, and ask for a a few samples, or have them mix you up a mathcing color
