Corsair 700D case - touching up paint

Tattysnuc · 18 Jan 2013 at 21:35

Hi,

Can anyone recommend what to use to touch up the paint on my Corsair 700D.

I'm in the process of modding the case http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18477735 but have no idea how to prepare the case to bring it up like new.

Any ideas or tips?

addendum: I'd prefer to touch up the scratches to the outside of the case - can anyone recommend a specific paint to hide the scratches that's a good match to the one as supplied by Corsair - I really don;t want to have to spray the whole thing.

you can't they use some kind of aluminium finish, any touch up paint will be clearly visible in day light. May as well get it powder coated if yo're stripping it down for modding, a few people on the forum have done that.

Drat. I think I'll leave the painting for now then, and then do a re-spray when the weather picks up. In the meantime I'll look and see if it's possible to drill out all the rivets and replace screw, and tap the hole.

Thanks for coming back to me!
