Best answer will be chosen, ThanksWhat kind of paint to use for plastic! (clear blackberry case decorations..)?
At the crafts supplies store (Michaels, etc) you can buy model paint. That's designed to give a shiny permanent finish on plastic. You might also ask while you're there about a spray sealant to make sure your paint won't rub off when handled.What kind of paint to use for plastic! (clear blackberry case decorations..)?
If its hard plastic and not a bendable plastic Auto Paint is the best way to go.
DupliColor ';Truck, Van, SUV'; line is the best. About $5 a spray can.
Use the primer. After it dries for a week sand it down to smooth it out. Start with 800grit and finish with 1,000 grit.
Then paint. Don't sand the paint. Make sure you spray thin coats and only apply 3 coats a day. You'll need just a couple. 3-5 is enough.
1 week of it drying you can now start Clear Coating it.
After the clear coat has dried for a week you can now sand it. Start with 800grit, 1000grit, and then 1500grit
Rub it down with a auto ';rubbing compound'; to get out the little tiny scatches that sandpaper can't get out.
I agree with what someone said about model paint which can be purchased at craft stores as well as Walmart. However, I wouldn't use model paint for detailed work, only for solid colors. And yes, you will need to purchase a spray sealer if you use model paint. If you want to do some detailed work or designs (write your name, draw pictures, etc) then fabric paint called Scribblers (available at Walmart) works really well and it will make the designs ';puffy'; and three dimensional.
