Subject: [motm] textured paint application - satellite case

From: elhardt@...
Date: 2003-06-13

A long while back I posted a picture of me testing out textured paint as a
possible Tolex/vinyl replacement. I finally found need for its use on a small
satellite case to hold a small overflow of modules that wouldn't fit into my
big case. Since trying to apply vinyl to something with such an odd shape and
small size would have been a sloppy mess, the paint worked well.

Picture posted in the motm yahoogroups file section for those interested.
Filename is satellite_case.jpg. In the photo the paint looks too shiney because
of the lighting. In person it looks better. I used Semi-Flat black paint over
the textured paint, which is somewhere between flat and semi-gloss. Texture
paint is Krylon "Make It Stone" series.
