how difficult do you guys think it will be to plastidip the interior and exterior of my case?

ive already seen the video of the plastidip case but I feel like I'll dork it up and get bubbles or have it run.

what are yalls thoughts? good idea or bad idea?

I mean, it peels right off so screwing up isn't too big of a deal. Interior might be kind of hard, but exterior should be pretty damn ez.

  

Interior would be a pain in the ass but it is a good idea. People should use itto make cool designs.

how difficult would it be to mask of certain parts on the interior?

Depends on what your case is and how easy it is to completely disassemble.

thats what I was hoping to avoid :(

the case is a pain in the butt to disassemble let alone reassemble

do you think I can just spray light coats on the interior

Plasti dip is way easier to apply then you think. And bubbles shouldn't be a problem. Just practice on a small square first. I don't know how the interior would work, it would be extremely difficult. just get even coverage as much as you can and you should be fine. I say you should go for it on the exterior, or at least some parts of it

I'll probably lightly spray the interior

hopefully I will evenly cover

well that's sort of a downside about plasti dip, you need about 3 good coats. Do you plan on doing the motherboard tray as well? You could do the easy parts of the interior and give it a two tone look if you want. Color is also a thing to consider, black and gray cover better than other colors and require less coats. But you can try whatever you wanted because you have the benefit of it being 100% removable

I'd say on the outside a few coats are enough if you cross hatch. On the inside go really light and do multiple coats. Probably 5 or more coats on the inside if you go really, really light.

just have a go thats the beauty of plasti dip no surface prep apart from a wipe down with a cloth and you can peel it right off.
