What's the best way to go about it?

Or should I use regular paint and brush?

Be careful some paint is combustible others will inhibit heat you could invalidate your insurgence.

I can't see you having any problems with taking them apart and spray painting them. JayzTwoCents has done a few modded PC cases so his channel might be worth a look.

I know but he also uses plasti dip, which is quite thick when applied.

I have used the Krylon one before and it worked well.

Halfords do a range of paints specifically for plastics.

I used to work for the paint company that made the paint for sky boxes, Nokia phones Nintendo car dash boards and a whole host or other bits!

iPhones are glass... and with that the company shrank....

Take casing off and use a spray gun... that’s how the techs painted the sample products

Also be funky and use soft touch paint... makes items feel all soft... think lighters that feel so soft

Nope, they do them in stealth version with multicoloured ends by the way.

I want to repaint silver Lian Li's Bora's since they're like £40 cheaper than white corsairs LL120's

Spray gun is expensive and I'm trying to cut costs with my painting 'modifications'

S (miniature war game modeller and all around geek) reckons anything designed to coat plastic and that comes in a spray can should be fine. He uses stuff designed for spraying the plastic bits of cars sometimes, you can get it in Halfords etc.

Just make sure it's not to thick and is even or the fem won't last.

I change lots of fans as the dirt builds up and the bearings or bush fail.
