Metal casing paint job?

Post by Ging3rguy »

Hi, is it okay to paint the outside of the metal casing, the part you can see through the side vents :?:
I've got a box with slightly rusted side vents and thought it make look good in black :!:
I know you can only see it if you have your nose up against the box, but I know it's there :!: :)

I have seen someone paint the whole thing green, inside and out.
So yes, it is possible.

Easy, primer and then paint or paint with primer in it. Paint must be suitable for metal of coarse.

it would be cool to see some uv reactive paint on the shielding with 'underglow' lighting fitted under the plastic illuminating the shielding
