Which black spray paint for spraying inside PC case

Am thinking of trying to spray the inside of my TJ07 case black by using a can of Hammerite black spray paint..

But which one out of these would you guys think look best :confused:

1) Black matt
2) Black satin
3) Black gloss

And would Hammerite spray paint scratch or flake off easy

ipa would be best - but soap and water actually works fine.
very light sanding (then the wash) then use a metal primer or just wash and use a etching primer.
let it dry (24h is best but some primer can be oversprayed in a few hours)
top coat (in a number of mist coats 10-15mins apart)

Hammerite does work well (allow full drying time) but the finish isn't that great.
Edit: Looks as if they do a 'smooth' hammerite finish now.... hummm
