Hi There, .. I'm planning on painting my case real soon but i have a question.

A friend of mine's father owns an autobody shop, and my friend happens to do auto painting. Would it be ok for him to proffesionaly paint my case? He said he would do it with 4 coats, and exterior gloss coat just like a car. He wants 25 dollars for it. Is this a good deal? He will use any color I want, with the same paint they use on cars. Opinions are welcome.

BTW .. what is the best 120mm fan out there for cfm? I've seen the 130cfm YS Tech fans, but is there better?

Thanks,

Massa

You would have a great finish.
Just make sure you spend enough time prepping the case. All the paint in the world will not cover up a bad prep job.
Heres a maybe helpfull to ya guide

depends on what u are willing to put up with, more strength= a lil more noise, etc

i had a case with a 120mm blowhole in the top, had a SUNON brand fan in it,, very smooth,

i prefer double ball bearing fans myself,

check out the specs tho, look at rpm's and some even tell how much air flow/air forced the output is...sunon fan , @ newegg.com, same model
