What kind of paint to use on an Otterbox style humi?

[Chingas]

I'm not sure who makes it but it's paint for plastic. Comes in a normal spray can. Found easily at home depot or Lowes. I use it on plastic computer parts and it's great.

For what your doing, get creative, why the hell not, really. But in the end, to keep her safe and her stickers, I'd do about three coats clear. Add the stickers. And do another three to four coats clear over that. Sand inbetween coats.

Good luck. We expect pics when your done, tho I'm sure you already knew that!

1) how many coats of paint?

2) so paint it with a few coats, then add a few coats of clear on top to protect the paint from the stickers?

3) if I put the stickers on, then clear coat on top of that, and I sand between coats, won't that muddy the clarity of the stickers?

(get the impression I'm NOT a painter by any shape of the imagination )


I might have to do the coats on top of the stickers later, once I'm reasonable sure I've got most of them....

You would be sanding with 800-1000 even 2000 grit paper. Wet sanding is actualy preferred. No clarity losses and a very small depth will be added.

You can always add stickers and clear coat again.


I don't think I can make Shack if it's this year.
