Full Version: Painting flexible plastics
Public Discussion Forums > Mechanical/FAQ > The Garage

I'm starting the cosmetic phase of project ST.

There is some flexible lower plastics (similar to the XX cockpit plastic) and course trim pieces that I'd like to paint.

Does anyone have any experience with can acrylic, or any other spray paint type that will do the trick?

Prep tips?

Thanks

Just found a site for Krylon Fusion. Answered my own question. I'll post my results....

Also look at NAPA Auto Supply, they sell a primer for Flexible Bumpers. I tried it on a Fuel Jug for my model Helicopters. then painted it black with Rust-Oleum Appliance Epoxy. I could flex the jug and the paint stuck!!!
And it was Fuel proof to 30% Nitro Methane.
