Best automotive spray paint?

[Crono]

I wasn't sure where to post this (The Garage? SFF?) so I'm posting it here. I'm getting an OCZ Whitebook (aka Arima/Flextronics W840-DI) next month, and I want to custom paint the case exterior. I painted a notebook case only once before for a friend, and while it came out nice (red/gold "Iron Man" look with Krylon Fusion), I want some higher quality spray paint. I'm thinking to either go with a red/orange glossy color shift paint, or a "mirrored" silver.

Any recommendations? I'm in NYC, if location matters, and I don't mind ordering online for speciality stuff.

Do something like this

The instructions are for a 360, but the same things apply. Sand, Prime, Paint, Clear Coat, the paint you choose shouldn't matter much (I don't think.)

I would look for some type of plastic dye before paint.


...and I bet you'd get better answers from the garage section..

You're in NYC and can't figure out what spraycans to use? My hometown has failed you.

Montana Cans are pretty amazing spraypaint, amazing colors, but they run 9-10 a can.

I'm currently in the process of painting my bike.

Krylon Fusion for Plastic is what you want. Automotive spraycan is not the right tool

and definitely get one of these
