I want to paint this new tower I bought, high gloss black. So who knows what the best paint to use is, and where I'd get ti? I know I heard of a paint that's good for this sort of thing (electronics) but I can't remember what it is, or where I heard of it.
Keep in mind that this is a tower, nothing inside it yet, and that it it primarily steel

actually a black matte will dissipate more heat, but the gloss should work too, not that the difference will be noticeable.
It does on a heat sink which is why it puzzles me that most are silver or brass.
I guess the previous answer assume u are going to paint over the air holes.

Don't go doing anything that will reduce thermal conduction !
My full size tower is an exercise in cooling. I currently have 7 different fans in it, and I've had to use the tin snips to cut up the case to improve airflow.
So if you add paint, make sure it isn't going to cause your tower to run any hotter.
