Painting Flight Cases

[lthiii]

Any ideas for the best way to paint flight cases?

With a paint brush...

Tape off the aluminum and use a rattle can.

Use Duratex with a texture roller or a spray gun.

I was only being funny, he has to tell us what the case is made of, he has to sand it before he paints it if it is plywood. If it has a vinyl coating the paint will not stick.

Not true. I used Krylon spray paint for Plastic on mine and it has held up very well. The guy i bought it from asked me if i bought a new case! I just laughed

Its a standard Raod ready case with metal corners and black tops and sides. ive never painted one before.

additionally, i would speculate the coating to be vinyl.

I just bought some used QSC HPR's and ordered some Dura Tex to re-cover the cabs. A small case is one thing, and you'll have some room for error, but if you're doing a large rack, or your speakers, don't chance it or half-arse it - use the stuff the manu's use:
