johnnymac Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Beware of Krylon for Plastics!!!! I was putting the final coat of paint on my Hasbro E-11 and it ATE THROUGH EVERY COAT OF PAINT! It ate through two 3 coats of primer and took it all of the way back down to the plastic. It even started eating the resin conversion kit leaving a sticky nasty mess. Aweful stuff. I'm throwing it away and starting over. I'm so angry! Quote

Just about every thing you need to know about painting in the world of TKs Blaster painting = Colorplace Flat black 96 cents per can Shiny stuff= Rustoleum high performance enamels $6 a can TK gray hombrol gray or testors 1138 TK Blue = Testors Blue angel blue Make sure you are within your recoat window. Usually less than a few hours. Past that you have to wait for the paint to fully cure before you apply another coat wich usually takes several days. Primer cures within minutes and you dont have to worry about the recoat window. If you paint outside the recoat window you will get "lifting" (the paint will wrinkle up and try to flake off when it dries) Also make sure you do not get to close to what you are painting or you will trap propellants in the surface and it will cause "orange peel" (porous flaws in the surface) ALWAYS read the directions on the can! Welcome to the headache that is know as rattlecan painting Quote
