Lord Ferguson Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I just prime mine and top coat, I rarely have any trouble at all with painting resin parts. I think that was were I was going wrong Jason - I was trying to apply top coat (humbrol spray cans) directly to the resin - dipped them in thinners to get if off and started again - much better then by hand - what primer do you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
