Gav836 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Been painting this this afternoon and the words i want to use to describe what its painting like would be taken out by the language filter on here, I'm having a hell of a job with it. Despite cleaning the resin parts i'm still having problems getting the paint to take to them properly so if anyone has any suggestions they would be gratefully recieved!!

PDC Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I've been painting this resin stuff for a while now and all I ever do is wash parts in warm soapy water (fairy liquid), rinse in cold water, dry, then go straight on with Halfords or Holts grey primer ;) ;) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to give TT's suggestion a try I guess (thanks TT) I've never had a problem with the fairy liquid method till today either. Got to ring the casters tomorrow so have to see what they suggest as well \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 i had a resin that wouldnt take paint no matter what i used on it gav, never did get to the bottom of why though, i have always just washed down with soapy water first , have you warmed the paint up ?? might be down to it being a bit cold, i leave mine in a bucket of hot water for 5 mins before i spray, goes on a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promised you boys pictures tonight and here they are. I aren't overly happy with the paint finish at the minute so this one will stay with me and I'll get another one done for Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
