Painting Plastic
Donald Martin Donald Martin is offline 03-31-2009

Is there any special paint or procedure to use on plastic? I am using Createx Opaque to paint wood models but have a plastic model to paint would just sanding lightly be all I would have to do or is there some special paint I have to use?

I asked this one a few days ago - great minds eh? Some links in this forum:

http://airbrushtechnique.com/forums/...ics-15713.html

primer & paint for plastic

these may help.

In my (VERY limited) experience once the plastic is primed then any paint works, although I assume the old guideline of try not to mix acrylics and enamels is probably still a good idea.
