There is also a spray paint designed for plastic that might work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1830547 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:29:48 +0000 Cherrybee 1830547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope we get to see the finished result? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1830146 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 21:53:08 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1830146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could use a really fine grit sandpaper (like, above 1000), might not make it too uneven! Good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1829890 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:10:49 +0000 IcebergMom 1829890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never think to do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1829881 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:08:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1829881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to see when you're done!<br /> I'd think that an 'outdoor' paint might work - one that won't wear off when it gets banged around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1829396 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:26:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 1829396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto @Dandelion:!

I don't know though... I'm not that crafty with paint!</p> <p>I've seen some people use spray paint for exterior home projects where the surfaces might be slick, so that is why I thought of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827067 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:39:02 +0000 anonysquire 1827067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: What if I sand where the paint will go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827066 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:37:53 +0000 sunny 1827066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spray paint + a stencil maybe? Although I might be worried about the surface being too slick for spray paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827065 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:37:06 +0000 simplyfelicity 1827065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're welcome! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827064 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:36:18 +0000 anonysquire 1827064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Thank you for answering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827063 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:35:15 +0000 simplyfelicity 1827063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with a fabric or multi-surface craft paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painting-a-suitcase-help#post-1827038 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:18:38 +0000 anonysquire 1827038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess this would fall under craft? I don't know. ANyways I have several of those hard Samsonite suitcases. I want to paint one with dots. Anyone have any idea what kind of paint one would use? </p>
