I have a Chieftec Dragon case. Every metal part of the case has been powdercoated a gloss black, so the plastic front-panels, and side-door handle do not really match the case too well.
I also am intending to make a "box" to fit a phase-change unit in, that will be seated underneath my computer. I am going to make the box out of a butchered Chieftec Dragon case, because that way it will match my computer case, and fit underneath it perfectly.
I can get a Blue Chiefec Dragon case, to make such a box out of, for really really cheap from tigerdirect. Every single metal part of this case will also be powdercoated a gloss black.
The issue here, is that I want to have both front panels matching the gloss black case. The front panels will also look mismatched if unpainted, with one Blue, and one Black.
What kind of paint can I use, to achieve a smooth, gloss-black finish on the type of plastic used with these front-panels? I suspect that brush-on paint will come out looking patchy, because of it being brushed on. That leads me to spray paint - but what kind can I use with this plastic, that won't chip, or peel off over time?
I need something that will come out a glossy black (gloss is highly preferred), or at least a good consistant matte black. I need something that will be easy to apply evenly and nicely, and also prove durable. This needs to look aesthetically pleasing, as I see the front of the case a lot - I cannot afford to do a poor job on these panels, and am willing to buy high-quality spray paint of neccessary. My goal is for them to look like they 'came that way' - really cleanly colored.
Remember, that I also need both panels to match after being painted, even though they will start out different colors.
Any advice is appreciated!!
