  1. I called them on Monday, they said their automotive cans will work with plastic with no issues. They said to rub the plastic with a good reducer? They said Primer would work but was not sure if their primer was suited for models as there might be problems with little details? Also said most of their automotive cans don't require a base coat. But they asked me to get the paint codes from BMW to say for sure. I will get the codes tomorrow and get them to confirm. So far everything has been very satisfactory.
  2. Thanks, Will speak to them today and will post. Looking at the automotive paint it seems like it does not require a base coat like the Kustoms cans? Will ask and make sure
  3. Thanks. I was thinking of this since I like to ask for a BMW customs color code that they can make https://www.specialistpaints.com/collections/kustom-canz-automotive-aerosol-can-colors/products/bmw-aerosol-can-colors It should be also OK right? Safe on Plastic?
  4. Hi Topforcein, Thanks for the paint recommendation, did you use the Specialist paints plastic primer? Sprayed with airbrush? Since they have several kinds can you let me know what were the colors you used to paint your trucks? Automotive paints?
  5. You can remove the chrome using Super clean. Here is a guy doing it Around 6.50 min
  6. What paint do you suggest? Automotive? Do they bond to plastic well? If so can you suggest a good brand Primer and paint?
  7. I see. What can I now do to correct this? Sand it down to the plastic? If so what grit sand paper? Also do you recommend the Fine primer or the regular primer? what grid sand paper do I use to sand the primer?
  8. Keyed surface means? Sanding? I sanded the plastic with 1000 grit sand paper. Did not sand the primer. Is that what caused this?
  9. Body shell was completely dry and soap free. I didn't warm up the body. How do you do that? Since it's plastic I do not know how to warm it up.
  10. Primer was Fine Tamiya gray primer. I noticed that they have regular gray primer as well. But the paint is also peeling from the Primer surface
  11. Bought the paint from a local hobby shop in California. I mixed it very well by shaking say for 1 min. Does it require more? I did not warm the cans, Its winter time here in California. I sprayed this in the garage closed doors in a master spray paint booth with an exhaust fan but the temp outside could have been in the 50s or high 40's I am not sure F. Started with primer light coats gave it like 3 primer coats. Did not sand the primer surface. Then gave like 3 paint coats. Came out near perfect but it stated peeling from the bottom. Any thoughts? Is it the weather? If so then is it advisable to wait till Summer time. But that's 6 moths away
