Finally did a TX for myself

[TraumaChaser]

After months of doing other people gear I finally did one for myself. To many people thought my other one was to scratched up and I never did the back so came up with this. The high gloss clear coat makes it feel pretty slippery so I'm worried when my hands start sweating it's going to be issue. So I know some clear paint with grit or some clear grip tape would work and hopefully still look good.

Nicely done TC.

I think the gloss finish will be fine ...there are so many surface changes you grip will hold.

No it's bad...so slippery it feels wet.

maybe apply adhesive rubber strips to the sides?

I'm gonna try this stuff first. I'd rather use paint as a last option cause once it's on it's on. Hopefully this stuff sticks well to the shell.

I've done a ton of these tx's and surprised nobody complained about how slick the clear coat is lol. Problem with using the matte clear is it's not as strong as the high gloss. Probably ok for a tx shell nobody has said anything about the matte not holding up yet. I think from no on I'll recommend the matte. It's cheaper too.

Hi TC,
If the matte finish and the gloss are the same manufacturer,
And the same type of finish you can over coat the gloss with Matte . You may just want to (lightly) scuff the gloss with a very mild scotch bride pad ...I re amend (green) this will break open the gloss and allow the matte to grab on.

Hey TC.
If your using pro grade (white ) is the softest you will have to feel how course they are.

No they are not the same manufacturer but I could do that just not what I want to do on this one.
