front bezel painting

[derfyy]

Since the front bezel is plastic, i keep hearing that i should use vinyl dye, but I was planning on painting my antec SX1000 case metallic blue for the majority of the case, but im not sure how to do the front bezel, seeing as how most of the vinyl dyes look sorta dullish in color. Any ideas on how to make the front plastic bezel look as nice and glossy as the rest of the case? Will vinyl dye really do the trick?

If you try some of the high-gloss vinyl paints, they work pretty well. You _may_ want to paint an undercoat with a primer (or other cheap paint). I did that on my case and the front's pretty shiny (midnight blue)

great, thanks.. i'll keep that in mind I may just spray the front with the same color as the rest of the case, so id ont have to worry about trying to match colors... it'll be a bit more annoying, but might look nicer? hmmm....

yeah! take mindslash's advice and put a primary undercoat. the other parts of the case have been painted already thats why just sand rubbing it will be enough. Good Luck!
