Title: Changing the color of Novatouch case
Post by: HiImScott on Mon, 29 January 2018, 17:32:05

Has anyone here spray-painted the case on the Novatouch? It's made of this matte finish plastic material. I'm not sure what kind of spray paint I should use or what brand, I heard plasti-dip was an option but I also read that it sprays unevenly.

I sanded mine to get rid of the matte finish and then used a white plastic primer before applying spray paint.
It took about 3 days to fully cure.

What kind of sandpaper did you use? What brand of spray paint and primer do you recommend? Thanks for your help.
