Spray paint do?
JJ Harrison
back then a few layers of sanded enamel?
I have this shitty case here:
http://www.satotech.com.au/case_H313.htm
and want to test painting it before I go painting a more expensive case.
Then I'm gonna put fans etc in it and use it as a test case (it only cost me
$50 au so its not such a huge loss)...

painted steel.

Use metal/etching primer for the metal parts, and regular primer for the
plastic, NOT etching primer! There're other tricks to this, depending
on how in depth/complicated you want the paint job to be.

It's nothing new, nothing that most experienced spray painters don't already
know, but for the first timers, it was really an informative article.
It was called spray painting 101 IIRC......ahhhh, I found it

Excellent article!

I should also add: use a respirator! not one of those cheapo flimsy
paper sanding masks, but a respirator with a filter that is rated for
spray painting. Using enamel paints without one of these is a "bad
thing". I poisoned myself once painting a computer case (that's not to
say I didn't get lower exposures when spraying without a respirator on
other occaisons, they just were never so severe that I had to go to the
hospital...after that poisoning I found out how to paint correctly with
spray enamels and lacquers).

My dad has all the proper stuff, but I just gotta get the right paint. This
case is basically a test case to stuff up on before modding a better case
