Toolmaker72 485 Posted January 11, 2021 Just wondering if someone can point me in a direction to purchase a small pot of black brush on paint suitable for a polycarbonate body.  Just want to black out the window areas before spraying the whole body. thanks in advance 😊 Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3729 Posted January 11, 2021 I cant think of any. In the past I have used Citadel or Humbrol model acrylics for small areas before spraying with PS paint behind but it isnt that flexible so probably wouldnt use it on large areas that may flex in use Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use Hobbynox paint (which is made by Createx). Although there are other ways of blacking out windows. Normally I'd mask them first, and then spray them after I have done the main body colour (and backed the main body colour to make it opaque so that the black doesn't show through).  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toolmaker72 485 Posted January 11, 2021 I thought buy a pot of paint made for brushing on polycarbonate would be as easy as buying any other type of model paint.  😕 masking and spraying it is then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
