    Need help in paint sprays..

    Hey guys, I was thinking of paint spraying my ugly beige ASUS DVD ROM and Monitor edge to a gloss white finish as my case has an acrylic layer with a gloss white finish to it

    I always had the impression the paint sprays always leave a matt finish to all your stuff.. Do you guys know of any simple spray mods that will leave a long lasting gloss white finish?

    Nothing too complicated please.. I'm a very busy postdoc..
    Me want Ultrabook

    If you've got the original drive cover, you could always 'stealth' the drive. Quite effective, quite a few guides on the web on how to do it.

    this is a good guide, a bit old now but contains the general principles.

    a gloss varnish would do it, but alot of paint is gloss anyhow.

    also, if you take your case (or a drive bay cover) to halfords they can match it for you
