More details, please. What did you paint? What are the applications for our hobby? Thanks - Paul
Re: KRYLON FUSION SPRAY PAINT FOR PLASTIC
Okay Paul here are some details.
As you may know, old plastic often yellows horribly. Some of my smaller pieces--like deer and sleds for example--for my putz scenes were once white or ivory--but are now disgustingly yellow. I tried everything to get the yellow out--and you have to be so careful because some of the lighter celluloid pieces are hollow, brittle and fragile and will dissolve/weaken with any exposure to water. Also the harder plastic pieces may not have the same scrubbing problems, but they yellow just as badly. Now normally I do not advocate painting anything vintage--and I certainly wouldn't do it to a rare or antique find--but these smaller more inexpensive pieces I am not adverse to restoring with paint.
Before the Krylon fusion paint for plastic, there weren't many options--the paint just did not stick to plastic--this stuff does.
Now as with any spray, you have to hold the can the proper distance from the object--don't over spray etc. If you are careful, you can get a very "air-brushed look".

A friend with a theatre related job needed some of those cheap rain ponchos in another color, and the paint stuck to THOSE! So that's impressive. Thanks for the tip, Maria - Paul
