    When i sprayed under the grill (to tidy up the bare alu) i used halfords gloss black spray paint, i used gloss coz the grill was a gloss finish. When i did some DVD bezels i used matt though - i was a different case.
    I know i've seen a painting 101 thread somewhere, i see if i can find it....

    I used satin for jacks rig....you cant use any old paint tho...you would have to use primer for most on bare metal....so what i did...is go to your local car shop... not halfords. and get some spray that u can spray on bare metal or anything for that matter...same paint i used for jacks AK-47. its about £5.00 for a big can and the finish is mint.
    If your interested i can get the make of it if you want.
