Paint rc 1/10 car

Hey John, not a bad start ,your on the right track there are special fillers for over the plastic you can buy that stay flexable most regular body fillers are not flexable, do a search for plastic bumper repair kits and im sure you will find one and there not very costly, and there is a rubberized primer for the bumper so paint will stick and not peal off you can get that at most part stores.

automotive paints require a good clean and well prepared surface like light waterpaper sanding to remove any oily or fatty resedu and the correct undercoat before applying a new coatings otherwise it will not last chipping or peeling will occur.

Sun breaks down or crystallizes some of the pigments and plastic compounds in the paint. (And plastic headlights) Melt everything back together with a single quick swipe or spray of mild enamel or lacquer thinner with 2 to 5% lacquer or enamel clear. Even clear nail polish in 95% thinner can restore some shine, but you can't keep rubbing, it will all soften into a total mess. If you don't want to pay a shop to re-clear or paint your car, just buy a can of clear glossy spray and spray it into a jar and mix a ton of thinner into it. Dab a rag into it and apply it on a hidden part of your paint.

yes they sell a paint for plastic. you can also use a liquid sander to rub on it first and then texture and paint

In my experience, it's good to get paint that is matched to the original manufacturer's color from a place like NAPA auto parts.

Ask about the 'flex' agent as well, as many bumpers are made of plastic which will need it for a satisfactory result.

Then, get an air brush or detail paint gun and an air compressor (small) that can power it.

Sand the affected area with coarse down to fine sandpaper until relatively smooth.

Spray grey or red primer on the masked off area.

Fill the canister with paint and spray the scuffed and scraped bumpers or fenders.

You can paint small areas outside or in a large dust free garage, or preferably in a paint booth that has down draft ventilation.

Wear proper apparel for painting when you do this.

New paint can fill many cracks on several coats.

NO,but it is normal for the paint to bubble on some plastic trims due to their makeup/type of plastic.the corrosion warranty is not worth the paper you use in the toilet...."applicable only if the paint surface is not broken and rust has taken place under the surface of the paint layers"(how do you know if its rust without breaking the surface to see.........)

U can paint them, u must use a special paint that is flexiable and designed for plastic trim, u must also buy a special cleaning and prep cleaner that removes all dirt and oil residue , if u don't follow the instructions exactly the paint will come off very quickly, for information on the products u need contact an autmotive paint supply store, body shops can give you the name of a good one in your area, u can also order from several firms on line, just do a google search

This is spotting from the plastic they use to protect the paint!!! Ha when they apply the plastic it sometimes has air trapped under plastic a bit like a bubble under tape, the sun bakes the gases out of the plastic and it stains the darker painted cars. Good luck and tell them this when they try to blow u off.

you might be able to buy a special type of paint like a kind that bonds to plastic..i know krylon makes some different stuff you might be able to use

clean the plastic bit to be treated with thinners and you may then need to use a bumper primer so the paint keys correctly.
