So, after searching through post after post, I think I have patched together the proper way to paint plastic toys.
Don't paint when it's very cold, or humid. If the paint is going on too globby/thick/weird, either try moving the can faster, or moving the can further away (not too far.)
1) Disassemble and give a very light sanding
2) Plastikote primer. Spray multiple thin coats, allow to dry compleyely between coats. White primer for bright color, Grey/Black primer for dark colors.
3) Acrylic spray paint, again multiple light coats, and allow for complete drying between coats.
4) Seal with Plastikote clear laquer.
That sound right? I hope so.. I'm trying to collect all of the steps on exactly how to properly paint plastic.
Any cool ideas for painting techniques would be appreciated too! How you do masking, splatter, decals, labeling, etc.. Much thanks ahead of time!
