Anyone had luck with any kind of reg. spray paint?

[stevelknievel]

Putting my wraith together and need to paint the interior pieces but don't have time to get to my lhs which isn't so local anymore. Anyone had luck with like krylon or rustoleum? I don't expect these pieces will see a lot of movement once their on just looking or opinions

I have had descent luck with the fusion line of paint from rustoleum.
It's made for plastic.

I have used the Fusion paint, got it at Walmart, and it worked pretty good. Make sure you really prep the surfaces before painting, and allow as long as you can stand it for cure time.

It just goes with your application really. I have used a lot of brands and types of paints and actually the cheaper ones suffices for me. There is this Bosny brand that is complete with colors and actually work quite well.

I suggest that you apply short and quick sprays as the first layer and do that until you get the proper color and feel. And top it all off with clear coat just to seal it all in.

Since you say the painted parts won't get much movement, you can get rustoleum to stay on if prepped correctly and painted at a decent temp with alot of cure time.

If the pieces will see any type of abuse, I wouldn't recommend anything but polycarbonate paint.

Yep, 3 lite coats should get you a solid color. Hit it with a hair drier between coats and it should be dry enough to handle in 15 minutes, start to finish.
Allow an hour before bolting on tho cause the paint will still be a little soft and can be screwed up from the fasteners or from the paint contacting the cage. Back it in black so when mounted it blends in with the chassis/skid and your done.

True "laquer" paints work fine on polycarbonate. It's somewhat hard to find though.

Krylon fusion works great.
