DIY ROAD CASE RESTORATION - New Foam, Plasti Dip, Casters ● SWH Builds

- How to repair your flight case super easy. Check out white Plasti Dip with Violet Metalizer top coat. Installation of open-cell and closed-cell foam, locking casters.
Over time, the protective foam within road cases begins to breakdown and decompose. This video will show you how to replace your foam, mask off your hardware for a fresh coat of paint, and create a caster plate to attach wheels to make moving heavy cases easier.
Those of you interested in Plasti Dip, this is the subtle effect that the rare Violet Metalizer top coat gives to normal white Plasti Dip.
I’m using this case as a coffee table and to store some studio equipment-I dig how it turned out!

Coming Soon!!! - THE BALLAD OF STEVIE PEARL
I found this video helpful, never stop improving, this restoration helped me understand the scale of the project, also subbed :)
Right on! Glad you found it useful. It's not a difficult project, just a little time consuming. Good luck!
Looks clean
*chef's kiss*
Looks a lot better.
Thanks!
Where did you source your foam?
Personally, I have used an oil-based paint with roller and brush on road cases and it’s worked great! I’m not sure anything from a spray can can do [for longevity] what an oil-based rustoleum paint can provide.
I agree. If I were actually using this case on the road, slamming in and out of trailers, the PlastiDip would have rubbed off in two days. As of now, the case is just a fancy coffee table that holds some studio gear. The PlastiDip adds an aesthetic (purple pearl metallic hue) and rubbery texture not normally found. Anyway, yes--for "real" road case use, an oil based paint with a roller is the way to go. I think remember latex chipping / flaking pretty easy. Thanks for watching!
How do you repair cracks in the black exterior of a big case (other than paint it)?
Usually these road cases have thin layer of laminated plastic over the top of plywood. You would have to remove the old laminate and replace it - probably not an easy job and would require quite a bit of disassembly, sanding, and gluing.
What type of sandpaper you used. And what type of pain. Thank you
I don't remember exactly, but I think 200 grit. It's not important, the more coarse the better. You're trying to rough up / scar the plastic in order to create a mechanical bond with the paint. I used Plasti-Dip as "paint". It's more of a rubberized coating. It looks really good for display (I use my case as a coffee table), but it is not durable if you actually plan on road use. Latex also tends to flake off easily under heavy use. Try oil based if you're planning on heavy use.
Hi, I have 4- 24x18x119 4-in caster wheels ATA cases for sale. Do you know anybody that might be interested in buying those?
I feel like this could have been condensed to 5-7 minutes.
Switch to Sativa
Just know-that additional 10 minutes I stole from you, you'll never get them back.
@@swhammondbuildsreviews Oh, don't be fooled. I heavily clicked forward. ZZZZzzzz
I love this comment
54 views, 3 subscribers(mom, dad, sister). Dude I'm embarrassed for you. Have you no shame? Time to shut down and get a real job.
Thanks for the advice.
I enjoyed the video. Hammond is sharing useful information instead of insulting other people’s work.
I agree with one of the viewers - I don't think you're going to make it as a podcaster. Pretty embarrasingly bad video. But I like your efforts in the restoration project. oh and yeah, what's up with the purple black light? that's was a 70's, early 80s thing
Your vast wisdom is sure to enlighten many. I wish I had you in my ear throughout my entire life so that you may have saved me from many embarrassing moments. Please, consider becoming a life coach. You have a keen ability of presenting your profound opinion in a way that will inspire and change the world. I'll forever cherish our encounter and the impact that you've made upon my life.
