The right shade of Black

imatation · 07-02-2002, 08:52 PM

I just got a black antec case, and was wondering what shade of black i should use to paint my cd drive bezels. Or is there any way to find out exactly what shade the case is? I want it to look very professional (the bezels to match the case exatly). any help is very apprieciated. thanks

Just get a flat black vinyl dye and you'll be ok.. or you could always buy black devices

It might not be a question of shade, as it is of finish.

There's glossy black, and flat black, and everything in between. It's really hard to match that perfectly.

I like SonixOS' idea: go for a two tone. Black and Yellow (wild), black and blue (cool), black and silver (techno), or black and pink (puky/girly)...

If your set on painting it, HD Designs Semi Gloss is a really good match.

I found some flat black that matches it really well. but now that you mention it black and blue would look really cool.
