Hi,

I am wanting to purchase a 'Storm Stryker' case, but wanting to personalize it as well, you know, setting it a part from ever other Strykers..

But I am gonna need some tips, I mean, I understand I will need either decals or some stencil cutouts, but how would the paint job itself go, since the Stryker is a bit glossy, does anything need to be done the to surface prior to painting? (I assume it will need a wipe over with some mentholated spirits or something, right?)

Doesn't need to be sanded back or anything?

Plus, what's the common approach, Is it spray painted, or brushed?

I haven't actually decided totally on the designs yet, but I just wanna make sure I understand how to follow it out, I don't want to wreck a $200 case, by destroying it with a badly done paint job.

This is probably easier than I imagine, but still, I wanna be sure :D


If someone could give some tips on it, would be awesome ^_^

(Plus, anyone know any Australian stores that have good stencil / decals for this?)

your best bet is to look online for custom decal and try to fit them onto your case if you want to pant it you have to scuff up the case with sandpaper to get the gloss off then from there you put on primer then you can paint it might not look the best if you paint over it depends on how good you are at painting
