Paint for tolex case


ped

Recommended Posts

Hi folks

I have an old hard case here with some blue paint on the exterior. The case is the typical fender type rectangular sort which I think is wrapped in tolex(?) with the ends wrapped in what fees like vinyl/pleather

 

It seems the general consensus is to spray the case with black paint rather than to try and remove the offending paint. 
 

Anyone have any tips, and if paint is the answer, what sort?

I used black shoe polish, the liquid type with a foam applicator on the top, to do an early 70s case a few years ago. It worked really well and has held up nicely, not rubbed off on anything or gone weird. 

It went on and dried nicely, no streaks or anything. 

 

Ignore the white flecks, I don't know what that is in this picture, the case is an even jet black.
