Stiffy Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 This might be a totally retarded question, but that's why I am here. Is it possible to paint a tolex covered guitar case? If so with what? Can I keep the paint from flaking off? All replies will be greatly apreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimhndrx3 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 i have personally never painted a tolex case but i have painted an SKB hardshell case with regular spray paint.... van halen strips on the back. it turned out real good and as much as i abuse it and believe me i do... back and forth on 2 buses to and from school every day bashed around etc.. the paint is still almost enitrely there... its worn away a tiny bit in places but not a chip yet.. the wearing away is due to the fact that i didnt put clear coat protector or something on it. srry to get off topic. to answer your questoin im sure painting tolex would be fine... just wipe down the surface and make it clean where you want to paint take your time let it dry apporiately and all that and then i highly highly reccomend a clear coat finish to protect it from flaking and wear.
