Capone Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Has anyone ever used testors model paint to paint their plastics? Just wondering if that would stick better than normal paint.? Here's my scheme: I'm going to paint my frame, or get it powder coated, either way I want a candle apple red/burgandy effect. I'm going with silver plastics, (I got blue meier plastic now, hopefully I can paint it ok).. I'm going to paint rims, carbs, cases to match frame, then chrome the side covers. maybe a polished swingarm will come after that... Any inputs appreciated, thanks!

I don't know why it's so damn hard to find but I finally found 3 cans at ACE Hardware. Do you have ACE Hardware in your area? The name of the color is "nickel shimmer".

Banshee~ Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Dont paint your carbs that would look gay, but your color scheme is going to look killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
