Rust-oleum on lexan? I think I've seen a few people post up bodies that they painted with some Rust-Oleum spray, but I can't recall or find which kind. If you've done this, which kind, and how has it held up? |
I've never tried it but I saw an article in Xtreme RC about an adhesion promoting spray that made general spraypaint adhere to Lexan. I dont recall what it was called though. |
I wanna say it was bulldog from WMart. |
Check out Team 3six's tutorial about 3\4 of the way down the page. http://www.team3sixrc.com/rcairbushing101.htm |
Sweet, thanks for the link. |
This should help you as well. its a how to with rattle cans that I wrote up. http://www.beatyourtruck.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=58112 |
I've heard that if you just do really thin coats of paint it will work out alright. |
Never had a prob getting rattle can paint to adhere to the lexan, my prob is the paint staying there. It always flakes off with impacts to the lexan body. This is 3 or 4 light coats in fairly warm weather. I've been told the rattle can paint is too stiff/brittle. Proper lexan paint is a bit more elastic perhaps? (edit) this is in reference to regular rattle cans |
It will stick. but its doesnt flex. thats why Bulldog adhesion promotor is a plus if you want to use rattle can paint. |
I have found that if you use a scotch-brite pad to scuff up the inside before you paint the paint sticks quite well. but you have to make sure it is a fine type of scuffing. i did this with my truck and it is sticking quite well."thumbsup" |
