Sorry if its under the wrong section wasnt too sure where to post it.
Anyway im looking at modding my case once ive got all my new parts and tempted to go blue/white. Ill be getting white leds and was going to spray the inside of my case blue. Ive heard that auto car spray is best but dont know if theres any good brands or blue colours to go for. Also UK based.
Thank you in advance.

what case do you have?
For plastic parts I would use a vinyl dye type of paint, and for metallic parts, automotive paint. For things like fans, use plasti dip. You can also look at vinyl wraps, people do carbon fibre wraps and it seems to be the trend currently.

Depending on what finish you want you will want to get a primer coat, the actual paint itself and then a lacquer to protect it.

i have the phanteks enthoo primo case and am planning on spraying the inside like a midnight blue and having white led lights as the fans are white. means i can get the corsair dominator platinum ram that lights white too.
have been told about etch primer and ive got some graffiti spray paint but have seen a matt finish one i thought would be nice. that way with the white led being matt it shouldnt reflect and glare too much. thank you for the help and have heard about paints which you can peel off after if dont like it.

I've sprayed the inside of my case with regular spray paint (I realize it isn't the best method, but there is nothing else available where I live) and have had excellent results. No primer or anything, just a cleaning beforehand and some light sanding on a few rust spots (Tropical climate). The finish is quite good, a wee bit rough but without touching it you really can't see much of a difference. People have had good experiences with Rustoluem, but the best method in my opinion is Plastidip; that way, should you decide you don't like the color or want to change it you can simply peel away the sprayed on layer. It is a little bit more expensive however.

midnight blue with a peralescent are so nice. If you can get to a halfords they'll mix you some up, it has a nice shine to it with kinda twinkly bits in. So nice
