Thread: Needing some painting tips

Tweet

I bought one of those hanging 1/2 torso skellys with the color-changing heart. It's actually not a bad prop, but all the paint came off the heart, and all that's left is a few flecks of red.
The heart is made of hard plastic(?) and I was wondering if the new "made for plastic" paints were all they say they are.
I used to be a model car builder, and they had "plastic" paint back then, but is it still as good as it used to be? Or would I be better off with the new stuff? HM

I've used Krylon Fusion with excellent results. Mostly on PVC, polystyrene, and polycarbonate. Despite the "no-priming" claim, you do still to make sure the surface is clean of dust and oils. Not too sure how it will work on self-lubricating materials such as nylon, though.

Yes the Fusion paints is some good stuff.
