Painting HDD

I have a fractal R6, the blackout version was not released yet, I replaced the PCI slots with black ones and replaced the fans, but the HDD brackets are still white, what is the best way to paint them?

I got some "humdrol enamel matte black model paint", will this be ok? Or will it look bad? I guess spraying them would be best, but I do not really have anywhere to spray them / dry them where I live. So would the paint be ok? Should I get some gloss paint instead?

I can't see anything wrong with using the paint you have.

Spraying might give you a better finish but for something as small as a bracket it'll not make much difference.

Matt is probably better than gloss as it'll hide any potential brush marks more easily.

I asked about painting and I got a reply from paintguy, what more can you ask lol.

Ok I will go ahead and paint them with the matte black, hopefully will not be able to see the brush strokes on it.
