Painting Pieces

@Imperious:

Those paints are like 6 buks a can… If you go with krylon you got a huge can for 3 bucks.

Also make sure the paint is specifically for plastic.

True…  they are expensive.  BTW, you use the same krylon for the metal pieces of Skytrex\ GHQ etc…?

Actually i do. I used to think that it would peel off but thats not true. Krylon for plastics may not work for metal, but regular krylon does work.

and dont use krylon for plastics because it sucks. It may sound weird but its true. its too watery

Arrgh…  :| Couldn’t find Krylon here in Holland… So I went with that expansive Tamiya stuff, and with some dutch brand… Russia, Red Brown, UK Dark yellow (looks like sand…) German, German Grey, Italy, Haze Grey, and Japan i have tried deep or camel yellow. But this yellow isn’t staying on the molds!!  :x I have even used a primer and still it won’t stick to either the plastic and metal… All other colors worked fine… Somebody knows what to do, for the yellow to stick??

you cant use that paint because its for metals.

Cant you order paint from USA via internet?

Is it some terrorist thing?

No shops, at least all the ones that i found, ship spray paint outside of the US. I read at one side, that they also just ship it buy ground inside of the US because of Federal issues… Don’t know of this makes any reason for you…

anyway, this sucks… because nothing seems to work

Ill look into this more and come back.

have to try another paint I guess

can you ship spray cans via sea?

I can but wont that be an issue with the post office?

I was thinking spray cans are not good for plane but maybe ok for ship

I meant my Krylon had to be shipped to Australia one way or another

Working on it… it takes time!
