advice needed on painting on metal surfaces

Posted: September 28th, 2009 | Author: Sonny Liew | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: | 1 Comment »

I’m looking for some advice on painting on metal surfaces – have a project where i’ve been asked to do some artwork/painting on laptops (aluminium surface) and some digital camera body cases (some kind of metal surface apparently “finished off with a thick, glossy lacquer”).

- from what i understand metal surfaces require sanding and priming; but what sort of paint is applicable after that – acrylics? spray paints?

- is there a way of painting on the camera lacquer surface without sanding it down?

- and is there are means of masking of areas of line work besides the very manual way of applying the mask and using a penknife to remove the edges? i’m thinking especially of any printing processes that would produce ready-to-use masking material.

any advice or leads would be much appreciated! :)
