Painting a roof box
Anyone on here spray bombed a roof box? My buddies drew all over it with glass chalk at my wedding and I can't get it to come off with magic eraser, degreaser, soap, or various strong solvents. The carb cleaner did take off the black where I sprayed it though, so I succeeded in making it worse.
I have some small cracks to epoxy and I figured I may just shoot the lid with black when I am done. Its one of the textured ones so I'm going to scuff it a bit then tape and spray. Any thoughts if I should use an adhesion promoter (bulldog, etc)? I kinda wish I had dig into this when it was still warm out, but looks like there is some weather suitable for painting in the forecast, at least.

Yeah, I spray painted mine after doing extensive fiberglass repairs. It doesn't look great, but it looks good enough for me. It's on a truck that has multiple dents and scrapes, so I didn't have high standards. All I did was primer then paint, and it's held up fine so far, but it's only been a month or two.

It doesn't have any rust at least.

what I would do is just cover the fuck out of that box with stickers and you will never notice the stuff they wrote on your box
just like that TV show where they fix bad tattoo's by covering them up
and start thinking of ways to fuck yer budddies upLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Don't paint it--it'll look like shit. Plastidip or 3M vinyl car wrap.

I just recently painted mine. It turned out great. It's still in my garage... haven't had it out in the weather yet, so I don't know how it will hold up, but it looks really good. I used a plastic specific spray paint. Can't remember which specific brand, but they should be similar. Krylon Fusion should do the trick.

Plastidip is the right answer. Flexible, cheap (ish) and withstands any weather. I plastidip my winter wheels, usually get 2 full seasons before i have to peel it off and reapply. And wheels take 1000 times more abuse than a box.
