T-21 Vinyl Ribbing - how to paint?


Recommended Posts

I've posted this question on MEPD as well...

 

I have tried two different paints on the vinyl tubing I am using on the barrel of the gun:

 

Standard indoor / outdoor spray primer

Krylon Fusion Plastic Primer

 

Both are still tacky and will not cure.

 

Any suggestions on what will adhere and cure on flexible vinyl tubing?

 

I have tried sanding, washing, and cleaning with alcohol prior to paining.

 

Thanks

Any idea what plastic or vinyl it is you are trying to paint? It's still tacky, does it come off? A photo may help me understand what you are working with maybe? Right now I am thinking maybe something like this is what you may need.

Nice find I may need to try that one.

 

I just panted my tubing (with rustolium flat black) it has scratched off.  What would happen if you if you just spray paint inside the tube?

 

 

These are instructions for tubing:

I'm using black 1/4" inside diameter 1/2" Outside diameter fuel line from Lowes.  It was on the plumbing aisle.  The writing on the site came right off with a little acetone - no sanding required.

Its a satin black and I'll glue the ends together using 1/4" dowel rods cut into short sections.
