Got my 2nd Featherweight, and the case is in "sad" shape, Does anyone have any experience with "spray painting" the cases, recovering??? and with what. I already bought a new handle for it, the box is okay just shabby and badly worn?
|
If you google it there is lots of info..some have stripped them down to wood and stained and varnished them..they look great!
|
I thought a 221 was NOT a featherweight?
Is the case wooden? |
221 and 222 ARE featherweights. I've heard of the cases being stripped to the bare wood and refinished. I've also heard of cleaning them and applying shoe polish.
|
My case, after many, many different ways to get rid of it...still stink a bit from mildew....I have killed the mildew, and this is just a bit of an old odor left over. Maybe stripping the inside fabric will get rid of the remaining scent.
|
I am going to follow this. I purchased a new case, but have put "Ilah's" original case away. Hopefully it won't deteriorate further. I would like to rehab it if possible.
|
There is no oder problem with my case, just would like to know if anyone has ever spray painted one successfully...I have used a black marker on the scuffed parts, but would like a better finish on it.
|
I bought some black duct tape & very neatly covered the corners & it's still in tact. Doesn't look bad at all

Dave McCallum suggests black kiwi shoe polish. Rub it on, let is set for 30mins then buff.
