Ok guys spent some of today perfecting the frank colour, I cleaned up the heatsink, sanded out any damage and set to the task, I have been through what must be 10 different types of paint before I landed on this pretty much perfect match!.
Firstly the heatsink was cleaned up, scotched and hi temp etch primed, over the etch prime we have a standard standox waterbased "antique black".
Next up (and this was the arsey part) I had to get just the right mix of candy / mica / glitter effect without it being too dark / too purple / too light - Over the top of the antique black I Put a heavily watered down standox amethyst pearl, so little infact that you could barely see it, this pearl however has a slight metallic flake to it, which was the bit i wanted. Heres a pic as you can see, even though thouroughly watered down it was still massivly too purple, not a problem we have a soloution to this!
Ok next up was a laquer coat, because you cannot add waterbased pearls into laquers I had to nip to my local autopaint and buy a 1/4 ltr of Purple Mica Pearl Translucent paint (bargain at £8) which will be more than enough to do the M44 and the M100 eventually when i've saved enough cash to buy it off marko! - This was added to the clear laquer with hardener aswell as some translucent black toning tinter, to get rid of that massive purple finish we have above!
As you can see a pretty darn good match and lovely colour.
Just now need to add a few more coats of clear laquer to get it nice shiney and deep! and then get onto playing around with the rest of the case!
This is the original frank colour for comparison
i'm almost certain you can't put fets on top of paint 
- Also Marko why cant you put fets onto the paint? Becaus eof the heat? or what, your the techie im the painter
