Plasti Dip + Phantom 4 Case? Why not?!

[dorianclive]

Well snap! I'm in the same boat! Getting married in June in Jamaica then honeymooning in Barbados! Told her I'd hold off for a bit.

I plasti dipped it then measured the lettering, made stickers and "buttercoated" (a light even coat) it with super glue.

Niiice!

I plasti-dipped mine with white and then a couple coats of the "pearlizer" over that. Then painted the logo with gray paint. Looks OK I think...

However, I made a mistake when I gave the surface a light "sanding" before spraying on the plasti-dip... I thought it would help keep the coating from peeling off (as it is designed to do) and that any rough spots from sanding would be smoothed over after several coats. However, this didn't happen– the roughed up parts only seemed to get rougher, even after several coats. The finished surface still has lots of tiny rubberized "hairs" sticking up and is far from smooth. If I could do it over again, I would not use the sandpaper again.

In the end, I don't care all that much, so no big deal... I just want it to be a little more durable, and I think it will be.

Can't see any of these kampy
I had same problem, Inwas going to sand off the raised lettering. Right before I was gonna go out and do this part, I remembered how plasti-dip is rubberized and peels off, as soon as I remembered that I knew I was in for a long night, I've since spent more time on it, looks great (to me) now. I just cleared the inside though, I like the grey look myself.
Let's see that pic!

Oh yeah, looks so much better! Didn't like that "cooler" either did you? Like I said b4, I could've seen me painting mine white and not liking it.

One full can of white plasti dip. Did two coats of the plasti dip clear coat - so like half a can?

Did mine the other day, looks even more suspicious now than ever.

Wipes off easy especially if you use some water.

Looks really nice! I just painted my case with Plasti Dip Blaze Blue. You gave me the idea to paint the logo in White.

Loving all the unique takes on the cases everyone! They all look great!
