Title: Is there a Matte/Rubber paint/covering I can use for my case?
Post by: Erraticape on Tue, 10 February 2015, 07:37:59

I currently have a Quickfire rapid and want to "paint" it white to match my monitor and peripherals. At the moment it seems to be covered in some sort of soft-touch matte paint. Is there a product I could buy that will replicate this soft-touch/matte stuff.

Yeah, sounds like you want Plasti Dip: http://www.plastidip.com/

Do not go to their fan site the popup gives you if you want anything remotely useful, it's the worst-designed website I've seen outside of Geocities.

Plastidip for sure imo.

If you use the plastidip spray, apply multiple layers (4 should be safe) as it will be thick enough to remove it easily by peeling, in case you decide to get rid of it.
