i want to paint the top and side mesh parts of my raven rv01 blue to match the front light. question is, wehat do you guys reccommend in terms of techniques,paints and stupidity of my ideas? i have a piece of spare mesh that im going to try on first so i dont turn my mesh to shit. also, the sticky out triangle thingies during transit the paint on one of them was stripped slighty, sohuld i not worry about it or should i just touch it up with some of my warhammer paint.

Both are kinda dangerous. Maybe i'll try to sell it on ebay next year because if i try to use the nail polish remover i might accidently hit the i/o panel ports and power button

I used it on my HAF, looks fine... used it on my ps1, looks fine... used it on my lan rig, looks fine...

What are you complaining about? maybe you just need skill.

i mean like $15 paint. Not $4 crap. Because i've read stories where the paint wears off and they used primer, and sandpaper

I bought a RAM cooler which I was gonna paint then found out it was aluminium when I bought it :P didn't really wanna try painting aluminium but guys at work said its possible so I might try.

What kinda primer would I use? Metal or some special one for aluminium?
