If you were to use a dark primer, such as a 'grey' this would discolour the gloss-white finish. The colour of the primer should generally be matched according to the top coat.įor example, a white top coat requires a white primer.
For this job we've chosen an Acrylic-based gloss white paint for the topcoat (which we happened to get from Halfords).Īfter fighting our way through three-inch bolt-on exhaust pipes and 10,000W speakers we managed to grab the primer for the job as well. Not bad when, as we've already mentioned, powder coating will set you back between £40 to £60, while loading up a spray gun costs £30 for litre and that's before spending a further £10 in primer, £20 in lacquer and consumables.īefore transforming our £18 PC chassis from China there are a few things to take into consideration.įirst, what type of paint should we use? There are a wide variety of compound bases, examples include Acrylic, Cellulose, Two Pack (or 2K) and water-based paint. We're aiming for semi-pro Halfords paint job for this first attempt and this will cost you a mere £20. Paint the dull steel interior at a reasonable cost and with the minimum of hassle
