I just cleaned the boxes, then whacked it on.. you may find because you have painted with tuff cab, that it could chip easier.. as the warnex will be trying to grip to the tuff cab not the box itself.. might be wrong tho..

I'll probably get my little B+D mouse sander and rough it all up before I apply the new paint (if 3x more coats of the paint I have doesn't do it)

never tried white Tuffcab, but never had any probs with black Tuffcab

you gotta remember that no matter what paint you use it will scratch n chip, some easier than others, but its alot easier and cost effective to touch up Tuffcab than anything else

What if I told you that I had a speaker enclosure paint that didn't chip and scratch, and was waterproof😊 if it rains, no need to panic
 
Comes in black satin (semi gloss) 5 litre tins
 
affordable and roller applied. As tough as Line-x😉
 
pm for details.

Show you what, a 5 litre tin?

I can do colours at a little extra cost

There is nothing on the market that comes close to this apart from line-x, and we know how hard that is to get sprayed, and how expensive it is

Not really bothered if I sell it or not to tell the truth. I'll use it myself until someone else wants it. Just trying to help out

Had enough pm's about people not happy with someone else's paint on here. So thought I could give a service

It's 2 part btw

Textured roller (supplied) One coat can be done. You just do a few passes to build up the texture. What you see there is 2 coats. 30 mins you can handle the cab. 24 hours rock hard

Looks a bit shiny there Mykey, is that just the angle of the photo? I'm pretty sure we've been using a very very similar mix from a paint supplier up here to touch up our Void PU boxes where the worst damage has been – it's insanely scratch resistant but boy is it a bitch to keep clean after a dusty, dirty summer. The stuff just eats rags, and a fresh coat of black every six months always looks better.

I know where the void paint comes from. It's a 2 part paint. This isn't that

Very easy to clean

Shiny because the angle suppose
