I'm starting to paint devices that I will be using in moderate levels. That means this mouse and an Xbox One controller for my laptop(and in a month or two a computer case). I just want to know how many layers of clear coat should I use to improve durability(or whatever procedures should I do)?

The guys I see on videos on youtube just use one layer of clearcoat and I don't feel it will last long if I did only one. I also don't know how adding a bunch of layers would affect the paint job.

Thoughts?

A few coats of primer followed by light sanding using an 800 grit before painting worked well for me. A mouse I painted back then without primer weared quickly.

Not op but I need a few bits of info on painting plastic as well..

How necessary is primer or that adhesion promoter if Im painting a plastic case ?

So far I have sandpaper rough enough to lightly "scratch" the gloss off, I have 800 grit and the paintI plan to use followed by clear coat.


Is this enough to do a good job on plastic or do I need that promoter/white paint primer with extra sheets of 1000-200 sandpaper?


Trying to keep this on a budget but I might end up using more than the twenty bucks used already...
