Hey I was just wondering if there were any good services which involve painting of computer cases? The ones that use automotive grade
paint and stuff. I know there was mnpctech and smoothcreations but is there anything else? I'm looking for ones that serve Australians to
but most USA ones actually do worldwide anyways. I'm a bit puzzled trying to find one right now besides those two. or Even better if one
of you Betaarchivers is experienced with this job and can give me a quote would be even better :P
Yea I do live in Australia so these services are kind of rare.

Thanks,
YoshiHDify

You might have some luck finding a auto shop and seeing what they will do, maybe ask if they want to practice on your case :P.

Maybe even a bike company. Here we have Ridley for example. This company originally began as a paintshop and started making bikes later, but you still can ask them to paint something for you. But I guess every bike company needs his bikes painted, so you may have luck somewhere in your neighbourhood.

But of course, the paint for bikes and cars is paint for on metal surfaces, will that be ok for the plastic parts of a computer case?

The case I will have painted is 100% Aluminum so I guess there is no issue there, its the closest to a car surface as any case could be.
I might try a car paint store around town I guess. I was hoping for a more specific service but I guess that's how they will do it anyways.

Not all car bodies are made from metal. Even on cheap runarounds, there is a fair amount of plastic on the body which gets the same paint.
