Right on! Glad you found it useful. It's not a difficult project, just a little time consuming. Good luck!

Thanks!

I agree. If I were actually using this case on the road, slamming in and out of trailers, the PlastiDip would have rubbed off in two days. As of now, the case is just a fancy coffee table that holds some studio gear. The PlastiDip adds an aesthetic (purple pearl metallic hue) and rubbery texture not normally found. Anyway, yes--for "real" road case use, an oil based paint with a roller is the way to go. I think remember latex chipping / flaking pretty easy. Thanks for watching!

Usually these road cases have thin layer of laminated plastic over the top of plywood. You would have to remove the old laminate and replace it - probably not an easy job and would require quite a bit of disassembly, sanding, and gluing.

I don't remember exactly, but I think 200 grit. It's not important, the more coarse the better. You're trying to rough up / scar the plastic in order to create a mechanical bond with the paint. I used Plasti-Dip as "paint". It's more of a rubberized coating. It looks really good for display (I use my case as a coffee table), but it is not durable if you actually plan on road use. Latex also tends to flake off easily under heavy use. Try oil based if you're planning on heavy use.

Just know-that additional 10 minutes I stole from you, you'll never get them back.
