painting plastic...

andy_wheels:
can anyone recommend some paint which will apply ok on the plastic cases and keys of casio's? i've done a bit of research and acrylic or enamel seem to be the way forward but i'm still not 100% sure...

hmmm, maybe a stunning pink colour is the look for my sa-1!  ;D

Signal:Noise:
From my days of painting airfix kits and war hammer fantasy figures I'd recomend spray on acrylic, you'll get a nice even coverage and it drys quick too.

Circuitbenders:
Yeah, cans of spray on acrylic work fine, but make sure you get a can of black or white primer to spray on as a first coat or else it'll all just peel off on unsanded plastic.

sn7ke:
Yep, i experienced that lol. Enthousiasticly bought a cool Pearl-White spraycan, but forgot about the primer...lol.
Now i can peel of the paint an make cool pictures with my nails. O_O

andy_wheels:
is that oil or water based primer?
