So i have an aluminum case that i think i want spray painted black.
Does anyone know of any suitable paint?...or do they make paint specifically
for these jobs so they turn out well?

My case is now natural aluminum color and has no cover in front so beige components
look kinda hokey...thats why i wanna paint everything black. thanks.

Painting aluminum is kinda tricky, but it can be done and if done properly, looks very nice. There is a special brush-on primer that you should apply first, sorry I don't know the name of it, it's been a LONG time since I used it. But as I recall I just followed the directions on the can and my job came out great. I painted some solid aluminum tie-down anchors for a pickup truck, five years later the paint had barely faded and had not peeled or worn at all. You should be able to find it at a local paint supply store.
