I am just doing an old mouse/keyboard and am using (begins with H, cant mention them) own brand.

You will also need some wet & dry sand paper, primer and clear laquer to get a good finish.

Yup you need to use car type paints.

The ATCS 201b was painted with mettalice mercedes black paint if I am correct. Very nice!

Yep the car panel paint from (begins with H

) is the stuff to use, it dries in like 15 mins so less chance of dust landing on it etc and gets a really good finnish. If your doing a full case youll need at least 2 tins, but they usually have buy 2 get a 3rd free deals on.
