Props. White Suitcase. Dance Show 2014

I was asked to prepare an old suitcase so it could be painted white for the Dance Show. I roughly sanded the suitcase down so the paint would adhere to it. I wiped the suitcase over with a damp cloth after rubbing it down to remove the dust from the sanding down.



 

I painted the suitcase leaving the handle and hinges. It did take 2-3 layers of paint. Originally I felt that it needed a varnish type of coating, as when dried, the paint could be scrapped off but I did not get to do this as I went and worked on something else. I do not know if someone else did do this but having done most of the shows whilst writing this, the suitcase does seem to of faired ok throughout the shows.
