*Attention Paint Experts* - Need Your Help

I need to paint my PC speakers black & I don't know what type of paint to use.

They're currently off white & I need to paint them black. I don't want a super glossy black, just black.

What type of paint should I use?

How many coats should I apply?

How long should I let them dry before the next coat?

I found Krylon Fusion. Has anyone used it before? How did that work out?

krylon fusion would be what i recommend, it bonds to the plastic itself, so it wont come off.
And since you don't want super glossy black, you don't really need to sand or put a clear coat on

Just do a few light coats instead of one heavy coats & you'll be fine

maybe you should practice on a spare drive bay cover first?

I bought the Krylon Fusion today (Flat Black) & I'm going to practice on some plastic pieces. I didn't even think of practicing on the drive plates, that's a good idea.

I use the Fusion al the time. Love it for plastic. Drys to tough in about 15 min in low humidity.
