hi guys/girls
need advice want to paint ps3 from black to white but cannot get the krylon and i dont trust overseas so is there a good paint in the uk to do this?
-
Halfords Automotive Paint, Can not reccommend it enough.
USe the 3 coat process and it will give a long lasting finish.
I've used it on various materials and never a problem.
-
that was quick thx
i was in the looking at the spray guns and seen them but never seen plastic paint?
-
I'm talking rattle cans, Yes they do more than an amazing job!
Just make sure to warm the cans first for a finer spray
Do very thin layers
Wet n Dry 1200 after every stage leaving 2 weeks between laquer and sanding, T-Cut the laquer after for a high gloss finish
And you will have a top quality finish for less [=
-
thx its very hard when people only say the ones not sold in uk
-
Yeah I know :laughing:
That's what Indys for :D :laughing:
-
oh ive painted mine its a lot easier than i orignaly thought. I used plastikote and i needed 2 standard cans of orange,1 small can of black for the trim, 1 can of krystal clear and 1 can of primer. All i can say is its really important that you dont rush the krystal clear and a good tip is to make sure that you clean it with rubbing alcohol after each coat.
-
im just testing paints on my old ds case but never comes out right.this is so i can get it right before doing it to my ps3 fat but some tuts i seen asked for that krylon stuff but only sold in u s but one sells it on amazon but dont trust it thats why i asked and got a very quick answer
-
Do you sand down first? I use 600 grit dry wet n dry between plastic and primer
-
i did one that was on youtube there are 3 parts

p.s if the links not allowed im sorry Ive not been on for awhile to notice rule changes.
-
Im guessing it will be a similiar process to the one I use so i dunno how youre not getting good results =\
-
well just after the clear coat once that drys i all ways end up with cracks or little marks and little paint spots like its had to much paint on it but was ok till it finishes drying.
-
Sounds strange, The paints reacting that's for sure, What stuff are you using jsut now?
-
Autoquest Gloss Paint Spray this is the 3rd type of spay Ive used and they all did the same
-
where did you let it dry?
-
I have no idea then, same process works spot on for me with the halfords stuff
-
shadow i keep in in my bedroom as its just the right temp unlike the rest of my house.
indychav ill get some spay in the morning as its shopping day and i go by there to get to maplins lol
could you state the spay you get so i don't get the wrong on as there's lots in the place i got to
-
I use:
- Halfords Grey Primer but for this i'd use white primer
- Halfords Paint
- Halfords Laquer
They're all in silver cans
I also use wet n dry 600, 800 and 1200
THen for the high gloss finish any type of coloru restorer will do :)
-

sorry long day at work not thinking right lol
-
hahah it's cool theres a couple shades of white, you should get gloss white :)
