I've already read the FAQ about spray painting, case painting, etc...they explain a lot in there, but not specific enough about what I needed to know. Im actually painting my drives, case top, and I bought 3 handles to go on top of the case as well(2 for a strap, 1 for handheld). The 3 handles are all metal, so I shouldnt have to worry about chipping like with plastic and stuff. The FAQ told me the types of paint THEY used, but they didnt say why they used them. I know I'll need primer for the case and drives, but will I need it for the handles? Im gonna use the glossy colored paint for the case and drives, but am I right in assuming that the clear-coat paint is for protective purposes? Finally, I have a can of black enamel spray paint at work, which I noticed is almost like a thin layer of rubber after it dries. If I use that on my handles, and then finish it off with the clear coat, will that create a grip on the handles?(Not only a grip, but one sturdy enough to handle the friction that might be caused by a shoulder strap on the 2 outside handles.) Thanks for any help ahead of time guys. I appreciate it.
