I still say people need to ask WHY would the original infused/dyed case not pass US customs? The explanation that that it was to ensure there were no materials that were banned in the US feels like doublespeak/spin for "it is toxic and not allowed in the use w/o being painted over/sealed". And that is sense I am sure Astak does not want customers to have...better to be clear about the matter now and in a definite statement than not.
All plastic out-gasses (gives off gas) could be the material or even the coloring used gave off some, possibly trivial, gas that the US considers unsafe. In this scenario the painted external layer makes sense. It could also explain the reason the painted layer would not cure (dry) properly, the out-gassing was still happening.
And do not forget a painted surface will wear off, usually sooner rather than later. It will scratch and not be near as durable as a homogeneous/infused colored case material will provide...meaning it will start to look crappy sooner simply because of the painted layer.
