Are there any places in the SE or London that do custom paint jobs on my PC case?
Basically, I need my black case turned into a silver version to match my alumnium keyboard, LCD etc
I know Kustompcs.co.uk do it, but it costs £165 which seems a bit steep.
Anyone know of any cheaper places but who do a good high quality paint job (me using an aerosol doesn't result in a quality finish).
Don't fancy doing it yourself? Takes a while and can be frustrating, but it's rewarding.
CPC Mag did a howto a couple of months back too.

You could try a car body shop although they'll probably charge you just as much (you ever resprayed a car?)

MacBook - 2Ghz - 1GB RAM - 120GB HDD

B&W DM640i | Velodyne 1512
I think a car body shop charges so much as they will match a cars current colour - if you asked 'Next time you get a silver car in, can you do my case too?' I doubt it will be anywhere as much.

After a quick call session phoning round car body shops in my area (Ipswich) I eventually found one that re-sprayed my Coolermaster ATCS a nice metallic black for £60 cash.
Then I went on holl for 2 weeks & my flatmate nicked it along with every other electrical appliance she could carry.

I'm thinkin about doin a bit of stencil work on my HAF 932.
Gona use UV paint on the inside of the top window for one stencil so it's illuminated by my UV Cathodes.
Then have 2 more stencils on the side mesh and front mesh.
Would regular white spray paint do for this job you recon????
I want it to be durable and not come off when it's scratched!
P.S: I'm in SE too mate but i cant find anywhere... then again im not lookin for a full paint job. If you're persistent it shouldnt be a problem
What about that? Not sure if a metalics are an option but if you give them a ring they should be able to answer any questions.

Hows that for a thread revival
Fug me, I didn't even see the dates until you mentioned it.

Well there was good news and bad news for the O.P. of this thread, the good news was he found a guy to do his case at a very reasonable price. The bad news is he's still waiting for them to ship it back to him!!!
