    actually, if i do decide to try the sponge method, i'm just going to sponge over the top of where it is right now. i don't see why i would need to strip it.

    good points. i looked at the marble paints a couple weeks ago - but that was as far as i went. are you using the krylon matte finish for the inside and then packing the center of the shell with something to protect it during the dip? or is the inside of the case also getting coated with the...

    very good info and thanks! it's looking like i'll be making a trip to hobbylobby (or hobbylobby.com) the nail polish has not been going well, but then ValHeli warned me about it probably drying too fast --- ValHeli was right. i've dipped and painted and stripped one case 4 times already. heh...

    YAY ME! i ordered on 10/22 and they arrived a few minutes ago (11/3). now i gotta run out to the hardware store to get the krylon matte finish 1311 to prime it unless just using nail polish on it will do the same thing?? i think the nail polish will work fine for the outside, but will probably...
