Love the inside! Great job
by painting the un-recessed sections of the case you'll notice the scratches a lot more.
the opposite would preserve the paint much longer.
great looking case tho!

Fits fine in a Prius, with one seat down of course

Here's the paint I used and it has really held up well.

Have you had any problems with the paint coming off the plastic?
The tote plastic is glass filled nylon and things don't stick well to that kind of material. My decals are starting to peel so I was wondering about the paint.
The decals are peeling off? Really?
No I haven't had any issues so far and it's been 2 years.
All I have are scuff marks from banging into doorways or using it as a beer table

I'm curious is the fusion krylon regular paint or is it formulated for plastics? I can't recall off the top of my head. If it isn't the plastic formula may cover better with fewer coats.
Yes. the Krylon Fusion is formulated for plastic. I didn't need any prep work such as sanding or primer.
Just sprayed it 3-4 times. It dries fairly quickly so you can do it all in one afternoon.
The longest part of this project was taping it all up. Take your time as it will save you headaches when you peel the tape off.
Make sure you press hard along the edges of the tape to ensure you minimize the paint bleed and get sharp paint edges.
-
I don't know exactly why mine had a clean edge. I remember really pressing down the edge of the tape to make sure nothing got underneath. Also it was a painters tape that I used. And I also let it dry before removing.<br><br>
There were a few spots I had to touch up but nothing major.

Wow looking good....

That's a very cool box!
Now I know what to do with the roll of carbon fiber vinyl I bought a while back.
The carbon fiber vinyl gives it a great look!

Looks great! I like the foam padding on the inside too!

Here are the PICS of my build:

All I have done so far is the lid, but here are a couple of pix from that. Next up, more masking so I can paint the bottom part!
Do you recall how large the imperial logo was that you used on the front face of the box? It looks like the perfect size. Was it from a 501st sales thread, or just eBay or something?
My imperial cog is 8 inches in diameter. I had it printed at a local sign shop. All I did was give them a high res image I found online.

You know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. Looking forward to to seeing pics of your progress. I painted my husky box some time ago and I still get lots of compliments
-
This is a great idea.
Is there a how to video somewhere? Ideas on how to cutout those nice circles?

Passed my code to Raider.
-
I still have a code. PM me if you need it. Valid until mar 24th
-
Whos next in line? I have a code good until March 24.
I offered it to GAB but he said he had one already. Just sent a PM to Second2nun
-
About to pull the trigger with Anovos, I need a Promo Code and will give my code up as soon as I place my order. Please PM me asap.

Thinking of building a second case but it will be smaller.
-
Thanks, It's actually a HUSKY rolling tool bin.<br><br>
It's easy to do if you put the time into it.
-
Also interested once you have everything sorted out.<br><br>
Many will need the raw resin kits to get them through the border.<br><br>
Just something to keep in mind as many countries do not allow replica weapons even if they are just props. They will be confiscated upon arrival.

The Husky case that I have measures 34" L x 18" W x 19.5" H (all inside measurements).
The height can be reduced by the size of the floating caddy which is 6.5"
-
Yes it can fit into smaller cases for sure.
The little caddy is used to transport the little things and repair kit which takes up room, it's handy but all that stuff can fit in a bag.
If you have a smaller vehicle then a smaller case makes sense, especially if you will be travelling and trooping with other members and their stuff.

Thanks for sharing your trunk pictures. I cant believe this 2014 post is still getting some traction.
