Whats the type of paint i need to use to paint my plastics and where can i buy it and whats it cost?

 

[brandoz28]

get krylon fusion. most places spray bombs are sold, prices vary by area

 

[sheeblast]

walmart carries kyrlon fusion paint, roughly $3 a can.

Be sure to clean/degrease/prep them before you spray.
You don't want to have to strip paint off plastic it's a PITA.

I just shaved my fenders and cleaned them. I'm sanding them tonight and painting them with the krylon fusion this week. I can let you know how it is.

 

[sheeblast]

make sure it is warm where you are painting, paint dont like cold weather.

 

[Logan fuller]

Ok that sounds good and thank yall

I used krylon fusion. It worked pretty good, but it scratches off pretty easily. I should have done more prep work. Im going to paint them again soon and actually prep the plastic right this time.

you need to buy some plastic adhesion promoter. the best brand is bulldog. sand the plastics down with 320 grit or 400 grit sand paper. clean them and then spray them with the bulldog before you paint them allow them to tack up and then paint your color.

the paint will hold much better if you do this

if i painted my plastics. I would prime 3-5 coats. krylon fusion. 4-6 coats. crystal clear rust-oleum 4-6 coats. leave sitting for a day or two. and rip up until my next build.B)

More coats is not better when painting plastic.
3 coats paint + some clear is all you need.
Alot of coats just causes it to flake and scratch easier.
BTW can you shrink that sig image please.

I think a auto store would have it. I would check there.

Although I don't use it I've seen it advanced autoparts but I'm sure autozone has it too.
