Has anyone found a good match for doing touch up paint on plain OEM biege cases (Example: brand/color of paint).
Brush paint would work best, since it is need it for touching-up the inside edges of cut windows and blow holes.
However I am open to spray paint if some one knows of a good match.

the best advice i can give you is to get away from the beige. find a color you like and paint the entire case. it'll be well worth your time.

however, to answer your question, no i haven't seen any. :(

I know, but on this case I was trying to keep the old look (an old vs. new kinda theme).

It's going to be really tough to match any case paint, unless you know exactly what the original was. It's not like with cars where the paint is standardized, so there's no way to make an exact match without just making a good guess. Like was suggested, I would paint the whole case. You can do it an 'old' color, but that's your best bet.

I actually found some paint that is very close, you would have to know where to look and have a very bright light to ever notice the difference in color.

I've been waiting to finish my project with a VFD display before I posted any pics, but I may stick a pic up in the case gallery thread to see what you guys think.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
