Powder coating?

[hoggy]

I'm thinking of changing the colour of my filco case.

(I suppose the first question that comes to mind is "Am I being daft?")

Does anyone have any experience of powder coating?

Doesn't powder coating need to be done on metal? It's electrostatically charged and so it the material i.e. bike frame and that is what makes it stick.

Thanks. I guess that means I was being daft. At least I didn't turn up at a paint shop with it...

It's baked.
Plastic would melt.

Various companies make spray cans of paint that acts almost like a dye, sinking into the surface. Plasti-kote is available in the UK, for example, and I've seen other people get decent results from it, though I haven't tried it myself.

VHT is very good. I can take pics of it used on a unicomp (with rit dye for the caps) if you want.

I’d be interested in seeing the results. I have briefly considering painting my AEK and possibly dyeing the caps, but wasn’t sure how evenly I could apply the paint, and an uneven finish would drive me nuts.

OK, I'll dig it out in a minute. The stickers on the "blank" keycaps are because it's my Son's keyboard.
