Title: Question about QFR top case.
Post by: Mooksie on Mon, 02 February 2015, 19:27:29

So, I ordered a QFR and I already know I don't like the rubber coating on the top case. I can buy a replacement gray one from CM for only $10. My question is, is the grey one also rubberized? I hope it isn't. Thanks in advance guys!

This is the one I can get, but it'll be debranded.

That one looks exactly like my QFR - it is rubberised.

The gray I had was rubberized also. To refinish you have to sand it off or I have used EZ-off oven cleaner to remove it.

Yes, both the black and grey top cases are rubberized. I've bought both and sanded them down to paint and it took a lot to get the coating off

I hate that shipping cost is too high to Europe...

Yep, that's also rubberized. You can sand the top and just paint over it though

The rubberised finish is really nice. At least try it first.
