Hi Tony, I am considering to repaint all the sticky wrap around cases here (in Germany) with the help of a local car spray boot operator. I will probably use a car paint out from the catalogue in a grey metallic colour but likely with a glossy final finish. This varnish will be cured by an elevated temperature and has after that a hard and durable surface without any sticking effect.
If the painter has the skill to vary this varnish to some sort of wrinkle type I would go that way too. But if not, the glossy one will be my preferrable case surface for the future... This is what I am currently considering to solve the sticky paint problem for me. I do not see a realistic chance to get the original Drake paint style and colour on my cases. Sherwin Williams Textured Grey is probably nothing they know here... :) 73 de Karl, DK7AL Am 10.02.2011, um 22:50:05 schrieb Richard A.
