Plastic Paint
I am trying to find some paint that will be good on plastic. I dont want to use the duplicolor stuff. Mainly cause I dont like how areosol paint turn out.
I would really like to find something to shoot from my paint gun but what will stick to platic that will last? Do I need any prep other than denatured alcohol and a like steel wool to rough things up? Should I clear coat it?
I was thinking model paint. The stuff people use on scale models. Not the brush on stuff but the stuff they use with airbrushes. Seems like it should work great since that is just ABS plastic too.

Like this, $1.45 for 8oz once thinned out it should be much more than a spray can and I think it will adhere MUCH better.
Ideas??
